Original Allach Julleuchter

A central piece of the German pagan culture; the Yule candle lantern or Julleuchter. A typical lantern that was lit on the midsummer solstice, midwinter solstice and Jul, the pagan Yuletide intended to replace Christmas. These are very rare as most were damaged or destroyed postwar. These lanterns were to be found in the homes of many SS members and are one of the most well known third reich era objects. Rare original example in very good condition!
