This Freiberg candle arch is another beautiful arch from the Klaus Kolbe manufactory, lovingly handcrafted with an eye for detail.
This candle arch tells the story of the Ore Mountains – from mining to toy making. Take a moment and let the detailed motif take effect.
The Freiberg candle arch is a lovingly crafted work of art that creates a very special atmosphere during the Christmas season. For many years, candle arches have adorned windows during Advent, not only exuding a sense of coziness but also inviting visitors to linger. This model tells the history of the region in impressive detail – from its beginnings in mining to the famous Ore Mountains toy making.
Measuring 70 by 40 centimeters, it fits easily on many windowsills, while the eight electric candles, together with the interior lighting, create an atmospheric light. The central image shows the snow-covered Freiberg town church, nestled in a lovingly designed scene full of life and history. To the right and left, you can see typical figures of the Ore Mountains: toy makers, musicians, miners, and children with animals, all of which together create a harmonious overall picture.
The so-called Stollenmundloch (tunnel mouth), which represents the entrance to a mine tunnel, is particularly eye-catching. Located below the church, it is illuminated from within, radiating a warm glow. This depiction reminds us how important light was for the miners underground, for without the light from the mining lamps, they would have hardly been able to accomplish their hard work. Because it is painted on both sides, it appears particularly vibrant and artistic.
The entire candle arch invites you to take your time and immerse yourself in the history of the region, as every detail has been carefully chosen and meticulously executed. Tradition, craftsmanship, and the Christmas spirit combine to create a unique decorative piece that is not only beautiful to look at, but also carries a deeper meaning.
With impressive craftsmanship and detailed design, this candle arch captures the tradition and transformation of the Ore Mountains. It gives the Christmas season a special light and reminds us of the roots of an entire region.
