The pyramid of musical snowmen is an artfully crafted masterpiece from the traditional town of Seiffen in the Ore Mountains. It comes from the renowned Richard Glässer manufactory, which has stood for high-quality Erzgebirge woodcraft for decades. This colorful Christmas pyramid combines playful lightness with precise craftsmanship and not only lights up children’s eyes but also delights adults.
The pyramid is designed and made of high-quality wood, which has been lovingly hand-painted. The base color is light, providing a cheerful backdrop for the colorful figures. Particularly striking are the cheerful snowmen standing in the center of the pyramid. They hold various musical instruments in their hands—such as a trumpet, drum, or accordion—and appear as if they are playing a festive song together. Their faces are cheerfully painted, with rosy cheeks, large black eyes, and typical carrot noses.
At the top of the pyramid sits a fan wheel, its blades painted in light wood tones. When the candles in the four brass holders at the base of the pyramid are lit, warm air rises. This causes the fan wheel to slowly rotate, gently setting the central platform with the snowmen in motion. The rotating movement gives the ensemble a lively and playful character.
This pyramid is not only a festive eye-catcher, but also a lovingly crafted piece of Erzgebirge tradition. It fits beautifully on a table, windowsill, or in a Christmas landscape. Due to its high-quality workmanship, it is durable and can be displayed year after year. With its bright colors and charming figures, it instantly conjures up a cheerful, festive atmosphere in any room—whether in the living room, office, or as a gift for friends and family.
