A new chapter emerges from tradition: The Grundfarm Wax Art becomes the Art of Light

Caring for Candles Properly and Enjoying Them Safely

How lovely that you’re taking a moment for your candle. 

With the right care, you’ll give it the best chance to burn calmly, evenly, and safely—and enjoy many beautiful moments of light.

Simply choose which candle you have in front of you. We’ll take you straight to the right burning and care instructions.

What if the wax art doesn't have to be burned at all?

This wax art doesn't simply burn away; it can be relit again and again.

Lichtfang® – a light that lasts

“Your candles are far too beautiful to light.” This wish inspired the creation of the Lichtfang® in our candle workshop in the early 1990s.

Its handcrafted wax shell is not lit. A light inside makes colors, shapes, and motifs glow warmly. Depending on the design, you use an LED light or a tealight in the provided safety glass.

After it has glowed, you simply change the light source – the wax artwork remains.

What makes the Lichtfang® special:

  • permanent light object made of real wax
  • can be relit again and again
  • can be used with an LED or, depending on the model, with a tealight
  • can be personalized with a name, date, or dedication
  • a lasting light for a christening, wedding, memorial, or as a personal gift

Important: Never light the outer wax shell. Use a tealight exclusively in the provided glass with the included gravel, and never leave an open flame unattended. Protect the Lichtfang® from sunlight, heat from radiators, and other heat sources.

The light is changed. The wax artwork remains.

Elfenfang® – a little house of lights for good household spirits

The Elfenfang® is a handcrafted wax cottage – created for house elves, fir gnomes, and all the good little companions who symbolically live and watch over us.

Elfenfang,  Handicrafts by Dinah Henke 

A warm LED light makes the wax house glow from within. This makes it an enchanting house blessing, a housewarming gift, or a quiet place of light for your home.

Every Elfenfang® is created from wax, light, a connection to nature, and a lot of imagination. Its world grew from the stories Dinah Henke told her children – from meadows, forests, and the legends of the Fichtelgebirge.

What makes the Elfenfang® special:

  • handmade light house made of real wax
  • warmly lit from within
  • as a house blessing for moving in or a new beginning
  • a magical home accessory for young and old
  • each piece an individual wax artwork

The Elfenfang® is illuminated with the provided LED light. Protect it from direct sunlight, heating warmth, and other heat sources.

  • Sweet as sugar for children – enchanting for adults

    The Elfenfang® invites young and old to believe in magic and make room for imagination in everyday life once again.

  • With a little elf story

    Every Elf Catch® comes with a lovingly written story from the world of house elves and fir gnomes – for reading aloud, dreaming together, and discovering again and again.

  • A Radiant Blessing for Your Home

    The handcrafted wax cottage is illuminated from within by a warm LED light. It symbolizes protection, joy, and positive energy in the home—especially lovely as a housewarming gift, for a child’s room, or as a present for someone close to your heart.
