Wooden Pyramids from Germany
We are pleased to offer this selection of fine wooden pyramids from Germany. Family craftsmen have produced these wonderful pieces for generations specializing in various designs. Choose from a single tier with small chimes up to a larger three tier piece. With the candles lit the various tiers turn with the fan's movement from the rising heat. It is a unique and striking example of Germanys traditional wooden folk art, and a piece you will treasure for many years.

A delightful piece as seen in larger photo. Three angels move around the top with the fan as the four angel muscians rotate with the base.
A small striker attached to the center column gently chimes the glass bells as it turns.

I mentioned earlier that different families specialize in designs and this piece shows some of the different ways of making a pyramid. Compared to the previous two tier piece you will see that this piece is made as a heavier version.
It is easiest seen in the fencing, center post and the supporting columns.
Both pieces will provide generations of joy when used and stored properly this one will simply take more wear and tear from those not quite so careful.
I would note here that none of our pyramids should ever be left unattended when lit and should be viewed as decoration and not a toy.
