During her stay the Berlin Wall was built – she remained with us for a year or two with her daughter, and the Schwibbogen became part of our family. For many winters it stood on the tiled stove and was as much a part of Advent as the scent of Christmas cookies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails \u0026amp; Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge), Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: natural wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 30 cm \/ 11.8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 7 cm \/ 2.8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 13.5 cm \/ 5.3 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCandles: 4 (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate: c. 1960–1961\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: very nice; the songbook is broken off on 2 figures, one scratch on the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an Advent light on a windowsill, dresser or tiled stove – a piece of genuine Erzgebirge Christmas tradition and a heartfelt holiday gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNever leave burning candles unattended; keep away from wood and curtains.
