Description

An original, handcrafted wooden candle arch (Schwibbogen) from the renowned Richard Glässer workshop in Seiffen, Germany. This traditional piece of Erzgebirge folk art features seven candle holders with brass inserts arching over a detailed, hand-painted Nativity scene. The figures include Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus, alongside a shepherd, sheep, ox, and donkey. The piece is crafted from natural and painted wood and retains its original hangtag. The item's measurements are 8" (H) x 14" (W) and it is in good condition; the two palm trees have become unglued and need to be reattached.
