Leuchter "Balthasar", H 46 cm

I’d been eyeing this for weeks before finally caving, and the hand-painted finish is even richer in person than the photos suggested. Set it on the dining table with the other two at 46 cm tall, and it instantly gives the room that old-world, festive glow I was hoping for.

Finally got this to complete my set of three, and the height difference between the kings is more striking in person. Balthasar’s robe has a deep crimson that really stands out against the gold trim.

The hand-painted detail on Balthasar is even richer in person, and at 46 cm it makes a proper statement on the sideboard. It’s a bit of a splurge, but the craftsmanship feels worth every cent.
