This pretty and playful candle arch Striezelkinder on the fir tree is lovingly and traditionally handcrafted by the Ratags company.
Manufactured with the greatest care and elaborately crafted from selected wood, this bow is a popular eye-catcher among young and old.
Candle arches have been decorating living rooms and window sills at Christmas time for many years and conjure up a cozy light that invites you to linger.
This Erzgebirge 3D candle arch is an enchanting piece that brings an incomparable atmosphere to Christmas decorations. The artistic fretwork, which was made with great attention to detail, gives the candle arch a distinctive aesthetic.
An Erzgebirge half-timbered house in the center of the arch embodies the rich history and culture of the region with fine details.
The finely crafted details of the central half-timbered house are an impressive example of Erzgebirge craftsmanship and its traditional history.
The indirect LED lighting creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that highlights the delicate carvings and artistic painting of the candle arch.
By emphasizing fine contours, the light gives the work of art a magical aura that perfectly captures the Christmas spirit.
The presence of the Striezelkinder in front of the half-timbered house adds another level of authenticity and meaning. These symbolic figures not only represent the history of the solidarity community, but also the strong community spirit and hard work of past generations. Their moving story of how they sold their toys at the market in the 1930s to support their families underlines the values of cohesion and commitment that are deeply rooted in the Ore Mountains.
The award of the Striezelkinder with a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1937 recognized not only their fine craftsmanship, but also the cultural significance and richness of the Erzgebirge tradition. This recognition highlights the importance of these symbolic figures and shows the recognition and admiration that they received as representatives of the Erzgebirge culture.
Overall, this candle arch is not only a decorative element, but also a cultural heritage that honors the history and tradition of the Ore Mountains and invites you into the festive Christmas season. Its artistic design and profound meaning make it a valuable piece that not only pleases the eyes but also touches people’s hearts.
