Graupner Pyramid with Carousel Horses

The large Christmas pyramid with the four magnificently hand-painted horses is one of the largest and most elaborate pieces in the entire Graupner range. With its unusual shape and color, it is based on a colorful fairground carousel. It is definitely the eye-catcher on the Christmas table and a great gift idea! Such a pyramid often accompanies the recipient for a lifetime.

The tea light pyramid is particularly safe in its function. We use commercially available tea lights with a diameter of 38 mm. Four tea lights are already included. The impeller, which is connected to the base plate by a metal rod, is driven by the rising heat of the candles.

As early as the 18th century, Christmas pyramids were part of the Christmas decorations in churches in the Ore Mountains. The special construction of the Göpel factory served as a model. This is what shaft hoisting systems are called, in which the mined ores are conveyed out of the pit using horsepower or water power. Even today, the pyramids of the Ore Mountains (Ore Mountain: "Peremett") with their warm candlelight and their regular movement create a cozy atmosphere. And they still fascinate children in particular with their small figures and colorful scenes.
