The Franz Karl company lovingly handcrafts this Angel in the Cathedral tealight pyramid with an eye for detail.
This Erzgebirge Christmas pyramid combines traditional craftsmanship with a modern yet stylish design. Artisans craft it from natural, high-quality wood, creating every single detail with great care and craftsmanship. On a round base, they create an elegant scene, impressively surmounted by a Gothic-style arch made of three curved wooden arches. They deliberately combine light and dark wood to give the arch not only depth but also visual tension. By harmoniously connecting these three arches, they create an architectural element strongly reminiscent of the vault of a cathedral and lend the entire ensemble both dignity and a distinctive character.
At the center of the pyramid, a delicately crafted angel plays an imposing organ. The organ features vertically rising, black pipes that rise in a clear, symmetrical order, immediately catching the eye. Other angels accompany the organist. They hold music books and move around him at a steady tempo. These heavenly singers wear white robes with fine black stripes and display detailed faces and small, intricately carved wings.
Above the entire structure rises a finely crafted vane wheel, consisting of light-colored, gently curved wooden vanes. These are attached to a vertical axis that runs centrally through the organ and provides a direct connection to the rotating platform below. At the four corners of the base plate are shiny brass tealight holders, which not only add visual accents but also serve a functional purpose. They are arranged so that the heat from the burning candles rises directly onto the vane wheel. Once the candles are lit, the warm air rises, setting the vane wheel in motion and gently rotating the platform with the angels. This smooth rotation creates a fascinating, almost hypnotic play of light and shadow, reflected on the walls and ceiling, immersing the entire scene in a festive, almost magical atmosphere.
Despite its rather classic motif, it appears modern and timeless. The Franz Karl company combines its long tradition with a keen sense of aesthetics and atmosphere.
It is operated with pyramid candles, which you can of course also find in our range.
