A glow of warmth for your home
When the days grow shorter and the air fills with the scent of pine and cinnamon, a Candle Arch from SEIFFEN.COM brings the magic of Christmas into your home. These handcrafted wooden candle arches from the Erzgebirge region in Germany are more than just decorations — they are symbols of warmth, light, and tradition. Whether you choose one as a Christmas gift, a meaningful birthday present, or as a festive centerpiece for your own living room, each German candle arch transforms any space into a cozy haven of holiday spirit.
Tradition that shines through generations
The Candle Arch, known in German as the Schwibbogen, has been part of Christmas traditions in the Ore Mountains for more than 250 years. The story began with local miners who, after long shifts underground, hung their oil lamps in a semicircle to symbolize hope and the return of light. That tradition evolved into the beautifully crafted Christmas candle arch we know today. Every piece from SEIFFEN.COM carries this heritage forward, blending the history of the Erzgebirge with modern craftsmanship and innovative design.
Authentic craftsmanship from Seiffen, Germany
Each Candle Arch handmade in Germany is a masterpiece of wood art. In our own Seiffen workshop, every piece is cut, carved, and assembled by skilled artisans who continue the legacy of traditional Erzgebirge woodcraft. We use locally sourced woods such as birch, beech, and poplar to ensure durability and natural beauty. Many of our candle arches feature detailed scenes — the iconic Seiffen Church, tiny handcrafted wooden figures, angels, forest animals, or peaceful snowy villages. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece of German folk art, combining precision and passion in every detail.
Light that creates atmosphere
A Candle Arch from SEIFFEN.COM brings your home to life with its soft, inviting light. Choose between traditional electric candles, warm LED candle arches, or even classic wax candles for a nostalgic glow. Some of our designs include 3D candle arches, creating beautiful depth and layered silhouettes that capture the magic of winter nights. Others feature indirect interior lighting, softly illuminating miniature houses and figures from within. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist design or a richly detailed, traditional look, our handmade candle arches offer a perfect match for any holiday décor.
Versatile décor for every space
Traditionally, German candle arches are displayed in windows during Advent, their light shining outward to welcome guests and neighbors. But these enchanting pieces are also perfect for mantels, dining tables, or entryways. A wooden candle arch adds charm and elegance to living rooms, offices, and even commercial spaces. Some models are specially crafted for outdoor use, made from weather-resistant materials, allowing your home’s exterior to glow with festive light. Wherever you place it, your SEIFFEN.COM candle arch becomes a statement of craftsmanship and joy.
