This gable-topped toymaker, electric (120V), is an unusual and rarely seen form of candle arch that immediately catches the eye. At its heart is a detailed glimpse into a toymaker’s workshop from Seiffen’s historic era. Two lovingly crafted figures – a toymaker at a lathe and a woman at a painting table – embody the region’s traditional handicrafts. Small tools, a basket of materials, and a dog complement the scene, lending it authenticity and life.
The steep shingle roof, whose peak was crafted at a precise 49-degree pitch, deserves special attention. This architectural detail reflects the typical roof shape of regional Erzgebirge houses and honors Seiffen’s architectural history. The authentically crafted windows with delicate lattices and the suggested shutters complete the traditional character of the model.
Another highlight is the sophisticated lighting: Both the workshop window and the six candles placed around the gable top dispel the darkness, allowing the house to shine with festive splendor. The electric candles are designed for 120 V and create a warm, atmospheric light that impressively highlights the intricate details.
Overall, this gable top uniquely embodies the combination of precision craftsmanship, regional tradition, and loving design – an exclusive gem of Erzgebirge folk art.
