German Erzgebirge Christmas
Pyramid Wood Revolving Candle Holder 8" 1960s
Listing is for a German Erzgebirge Christmas Pyramid Wood Revolving
Candle Holder 8" 1960s.
A German Christmas Pyramid Carousel is generally made of wood.
They have fins or paddles on the top that attach to a central pin. Candles
around the sides send hot air up to the paddles, causing them to spin, and
this makes the central scene spin. Super cool!
Some Pyramids are large and wildly intricate, depicting multiple scenes
on multiple levels. Others are small, simple, and have only a few carved
figures.
This one shows a nice Christmas scene - with 3 young children holding
various object.
