Know before you buy
This pyramid is designed to work with standard-sized pyramid candles. It is important to use the correct diameter to ensure they fit securely in the candle holders.
The heat from the candle flames creates an upward draft of warm air. This rising air current pushes against the angled blades at the top of the pyramid, causing the central spindle and the figures to rotate.
The pyramid typically arrives with the blades detached to prevent damage during shipping. You will need to gently insert the blades into the top rotor piece upon arrival.
This piece is handcrafted in Germany by Christian Ulbricht, a brand renowned for its traditional woodworking and authentic Erzgebirge craftsmanship.
Always place the pyramid on a level, heat-resistant surface away from curtains or flammable materials. Never leave a lit pyramid unattended, and ensure the candles are fully extinguished before moving the unit.
