In stock - worldwide delivery
The candle arch has been part of the Erzgebirge Christmas as a festival of lights for more than 250 years. The first candle arch was made by blacksmith Johann Teller in Johanngeorgenstadt as a wrought-iron work in 1726. The form of the arch goes back to the Erzgebirge mining tradition. For their last shift before Christmas, miners hung their lamps around the outline of the mine entrance, so the lights formed an arch. The cloud motif that can be seen on many of our candle arches and the patented inside illumination are distinct features of products from our workshop.

Miner's Candle Arch – The legend of the Ore Mountains shines in your home
Imagine: it's getting dark early outside, the candles are lit, and a centuries-old tradition comes to life in your window. The miners are among the very first motifs ever to adorn a candle arch – a symbol of hope, homecoming and the light at the end of the shift that the miners once so eagerly awaited.
This double candle arch combines this ancient history with contemporary elegance: soft, indirect LED light bathes the natural birch plywood in a warm glow that immediately makes every room cosier - without any candle smoke or fire hazard.
