Schwiboggen

,

A German candle holder

A schwiboggen is a decorative candle-holder from the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) region of Saxony, Germany. This lighted arch doesn’t have candles but it has LED lights that act as a stand-in for them. Each of the 2 arches is cut from 1/8″ baltic birch and mounted on 1/4″ piece of red oak. The string of lights is hot glued to the back. This was a present for my mom.
