This candle arch depicting a miner with a cart is another beautiful arch from the Klaus Kolbe manufactory, lovingly handcrafted with an eye for detail.
The candle arch depicting a miner with a cart impressively tells the story of the everyday life of miners in the Ore Mountains. At its center is a powerful miner, mining ore with a pick hammer and muscle power. He pushes a wooden cart through the tunnel entrance, which is framed by glittering stone. The silvery shimmer along the opening symbolizes the region’s precious mineral resources.
The massive round arch construction is reminiscent of a classic mine entrance. Dark blue struts and light wooden elements create strong contrasts. Eight electric candles are evenly distributed along the arch, spreading warm light. Their combination creates a festive yet reverent atmosphere.
On the upper levels, uniformed miners stand with miner’s lamps and musical instruments. They embody camaraderie, pride, and tradition. Next to them are nutcrackers, angels, and typical Christmas figures – a combination of craftsmanship and faith. Each figure is finely crafted, lovingly painted, and individually designed.
The middle level depicts scenes from the working world underground. On the left, two miners carry tools and building materials. On the right, craftsmen work the ore or sharpen tools. The workbench, anvil, and wooden cabinet appear realistic and functional. Buckets, shovels, and chunks of ore are stored in between. These details bring the scene to life and make it tangible.
On the lower level, a shepherd and a farmer’s wife lead a kid. This depiction evokes life above ground. It provides a calm contrast to the work in the mine. The figures appear down-to-earth and peaceful.
The candle arch combines symbolism, craftsmanship, and a love of home. It brings the essence of the Ore Mountains into the living room. As a light source and cultural object, it creates an atmosphere full of history and warmth.
