Design and History:
The German candle pyramid is an ornate piece of
artwork, which uses the heat a candle generates
to rotate a fan, which will then move delicately
carved figurines and images around in a circle.
There are several other names used to describe
candle pyramids, including: German pyramid,
candle carousel, lightstocks, Windrädchen and
table whirligigs. All of these names describe an
item that has a central rod with a fan connected
to the topmost end. Wind or heat is used to
generate motion in the fan. This motion causes
the rod to rotate and in so doing, causes
movement of figurine settings.
The history of the German candle pyramid or
candle carousel stems from a
pre-industrialization age. The German candle
pyramid originated from the development of the
windmill, the first of which were built in Persia
somewhere in the 6th to 8th centuries. It is
believed that the windmill migrated with the
crusaders back home to Europe where they were
used to pump water and as grinders for numerous
things (wheat, seeds, etc.). It is from the
construction of a windmill that the concept of a
candle pyramid, where a fan propels lightweight
wooden tiers to move, came into being.

NOTE:
These taper
candles are considered "dripless" under ideal
conditions,
but as with any "dripless" candles, they may
drip if burned where a draft or breeze is present.
