Know before you buy
The pyramid uses the heat generated by the tea lights to create an upward draft. This rising warm air catches the blades at the top, causing the central spindle and the wooden figures to rotate smoothly.
While the design is rooted in traditional winter folk art, the historical theme and natural linden wood construction make it a versatile piece of decor. It is perfectly suitable for display throughout the colder months or as a centerpiece for seasonal gatherings.
The pyramid stands at 55 cm tall. Given its height and the need for heat clearance above the spinning blades, it is best displayed on a dining table, sideboard, or a mantle rather than a low-clearance bookshelf.
This piece is crafted from linden wood, which is traditionally used in Erzgebirge folk art for its fine grain and ease of carving. It features a traditional finish that highlights the natural beauty of the wood while maintaining the authentic aesthetic of historical toy-making scenes.
Because the pyramid relies on open flames, it should always be placed on a level, heat-resistant surface away from curtains or flammable materials. Never leave the pyramid unattended while the candles are lit, and ensure the area above the blades remains clear to prevent fire hazards.
