These candle holders angel and miner, natural electric, are lovingly handcrafted and made with an eye for detail by the Eckert folk art workshop.
Angel and miner are the light figures and probably the best known and most original figures from the Ore Mountains.
The two electric candle holders, miner and angel, are beautifully natural-colored holders. The LEDs are designed in a flame-like shape and give off a warm white light that is reminiscent of real candlelight.
The angel is depicted as a female figure, characterized by a gentle, smiling face with red lips and pink cheeks. On her head she wears a crown-like headgear. Her wings are made of the same wood as the rest of the figure, wide and tapering towards the top. Simple star motifs are decorated on the wings. Her body is held in a simple, long dress that reaches just to the floor and is decorated with a stylized floral decoration at the bottom. The dress has a natural wood grain that emphasizes the simplicity and elegance of the figure. The angel’s arms are slightly bent and hold the candles straight up.
The miner is depicted as a male figure, with a striking facial expression and a small smile. He wears a typical miner’s hat. The headgear is also made of wood and bears the symbol of two crossed hammers, which represents mining. His clothing consists of a simple uniform with suggested buttons and a belt. His legs are straight and he stands firmly on a round base. His arms are also bent so that the candles are held securely. The hands are round and smooth, like the angel’s.
Both figures are carefully made from a light and untreated wood that highlights the natural beauty of the material. The smooth surfaces and minimalist design emphasize the traditional craftsmanship and give the figures a timeless aesthetic. These light figures are not only decorative elements, but also cultural symbols of the Ore Mountains, which unfold their full meaning especially at Christmas time.
