This traditional wood jig saw cut schwibbogen is in good, used condition. The medium sized schwibbogen is exactly like the large window schwibbogen / candle arches, with intricate detail characteristic of the jig saw cut Erzgebirge ornaments. The family who owned this charming schwibbogen used it for many years. The design is a stag between two fir trees in the ore Mountains, nibbling on a branch. This nice wood schwibbogen takes the 1/2\" by 4\" candles. This is a traditional old German Christmas decoration and schwibbogen are widely used today in Germany at Christmas. Size is approximately 13 3/4\" by 6 1/2\" tall. During the Christmas season, windows throughout Germany are lit with the soft lights of Schwibbögen, or Christmas candle arches. These traditional displays reach back over 270 years to the mines of the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains in Eastern Germany), and the first Schwibbögen, made out of wrought iron, are thought to have originated in the town of Johanngeorgenstadt. Buyer pays shipping. May be picked up in Pompton Plains, NJ.
