Angel Chimes Original Swedish Brass Angel Chimes Carousel – Gold Brass, 4 Candles, Candle-Powered Spinning Music

Angel Chimes Original Swedish carousel is a brass candle-powered spinning chime that gently rings as candle heat turns its angels for classic Scandinavian holiday charm.

Designed from the traditional 1948 pattern, this Angel Chimes brass carousel brings a moving, musical focal point to your seasonal display. The lightweight metal construction and bell-tipped angel figures rotate quietly when small candles are lit beneath the vane assembly, producing delicate chimes and a warm glow. It arrives as a compact kit requiring simple assembly and includes four candles so you can set it up immediately.

How does the candle heat make the carousel turn and chime?

Small candles placed in the holder create rising warm air that pushes against the angled blades of the rotor. That airflow slowly spins the top platform where the angel figures hold tiny bells; as they rotate the bells strike and produce a soft chiming sound. The movement is gradual, relying on steady candle flames rather than batteries or electricity.

• Uses thermal convection from four small candles to drive the rotor.
• Angels fitted with tiny bells create the chiming effect during rotation.
• Brass finish helps reflect candlelight for added warmth.
• Requires stable surface away from drafts for best performance.

What do I get in the box and how hard is assembly?

The set includes the brass carousel frame, rotor with angel figures and bells, candle holders, and four candles. Assembly is straightforward: place the rotor spindle, secure the platform, insert the candles, and ensure the vane is balanced. No tools beyond a firm hand are normally required, and written instructions help align the rotating parts.

• Brass carousel parts and top rotor with angel figures included.
• Four tapered candles provided for immediate use.
• Simple snap-and-seat assembly; clear alignment points reduce fuss.
• Extra candles available separately for longer run times.

Where should I display the Angel Chimes for best effect?

Place the chimes on a flat, heat-resistant surface such as a table centerpiece, mantel, windowsill, or nightstand. Keep it away from open drafts, curtains and small children or pets, and allow a clear area above for safe rotation. Positioned centrally on a dining or living room table, it becomes both a decorative focal point and an ambient sound source during gatherings.

• Ideal as a holiday centerpiece or mantel accent.
• Works well on window sills where reflected light enhances the brass.
• Keep away from drafts and flammable materials for safety.
• Compact footprint fits small apartments and cozy rooms.

How long will it chime and how do I care for it?

Chiming duration depends on the candles used; the included tapered candles typically burn for an hour or two each. Replace candles as needed and wipe the brass parts with a soft, dry cloth to remove soot or fingerprints. When storing, separate delicate parts to avoid bending the rotor or angel arms.

• Burn time set by chosen candle size and quality.
• Clean with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Store in a box with padding to protect the rotor and bells.
• Extra candles sold separately to extend use throughout the season.
