This is quite a rare figural, lithographed , weighted Christmas tree candle holder.The overall length is 7 1/2".The angel is a full length embossed tin figure holding a long horn and is 3 3/4"tall. The lithographed color - gold on the body,green on the drape, shows wear. It retains its original lead weight and petal shaped candle holder. The drape arches above the angel's head to form the hook that allows it to hang on the tree. A really unusual 19th century Christmas accessory.

Amazingly this German paper Christmas candle lantern was used ,and survived, in pretty good condition It was made prewar or just post war of die-cut cardboard, dyed black . Each side shows a different scene in silhouette and these cutouts are backed by lithographed scenes in color which are placed directly behind the outlines. The thin paper backdrops have some tears but are in surprisingly good shape. There are wax remnants at the candle hole. Two air openings on the bottom and designed with an opening at the top. The overall height is 9 1/2" and the width of each side is 5 1/4. Really a lovely example of this lantern form.

An authentically old candle pyramid is very hard to come by- the heat of the candles cause the blades to rotate , in turn, this rotates the centers of the two tiers - the parts holding the Erzgebirge figures. This 16" tall example, most likely German made in the Erzgebirge area, dates from about the turn of the century and comes out of Pennsylvania.Its base is about 6 3/4" square. The blades are painted tin. The central turning column is beautifully turned in a spiraling pattern. The highest tier has 2 Erzgebirge animals - horse and deer (missing one tiny antler). The lower tier has 2 angels with upright wings(one angel is missing one arm),a soldier and a sponge tree.Each tier has 4 classical columns defining the space. All this topped by a lovely dome, a golden ball, the blades and a golden finial.There is some paint loss but really not bad at all. You should be able to get good detail from the photos.
