This candle arch or “Schwibbogen”, is from the Müller Company of the Erzgebirge region of Germany.
This region is well known for their long history of hand turned and hand painted wooden gifts and toys. The Müller Company has been in continuous, family owned operation since 1899.
Candle arches are a long tradition of the mountainous region, with the arch representing the entrance to the mine and the candles, meant to light the way. Most traditionally depicting Christmas scenes, these arches can show a variety of landscapes and tableaus.
Ours shows carolers in front of a church at Christmas time. It has been carved and stained in natural wood colors.
Slight variation from photos is possible, due to handmade nature. Comes with factory box.
This arch is 18.5 inches wide and 7.9 inches tall. It comes with a complementary box of taper candles for the display.
