Know before you buy
This pyramid is designed to be powered by standard tea candles. For the best performance and safety, the manufacturer recommends using specific tea candles, such as models #30-3813 or 12-3815-P.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. Because it is crafted from wood and relies on candle heat to rotate, it should be kept in a stable, draft-free environment away from the elements.
The heat generated by the lit tea candles creates an upward draft that turns the wooden fan at the top. This movement gently rotates the central platform, bringing the cat-themed scene to life.
The pyramid measures 8 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 5 inches deep. Its compact size makes it well-suited for display on a mantel, bookshelf, or as part of a larger holiday village set.
The pyramid arrives as a single piece, though you may need to carefully position the fan blades to ensure they are angled correctly to catch the heat from the candles. No complex tools or assembly are required.
