Angel Holding Candles
Made in Grünhainichen, Germany by Wendt & Kühn
A handcrafted wooden angel by Wendt & Kühn, based on a candle-bearing design sketched by Grete Wendt in 1912. Made in Grünhainichen and painted by hand, this 18 cm white angel carries the quiet elegance of one of the company’s earliest figures – a design Grete once sent to her brother on the front at Christmas in 1914. A timeless piece for the Advent season.

Highlight
The Green of Hope
First designed in 1923, the angels’ green wings reflect Grete Wendt’s belief in harmony and hope. The distinctive hue now mixed to her original specification is still applied by hand, dot by dot, to create the gentle warmth that makes these angels so recognisable.
What makes this a Keeper
About the Maker
Their Story
In the Erzgebirge mountains of Saxony, Wendt & Kühn has been making hand-painted wooden angels and musical boxes since 1915. Each figure is shaped on a lathe (a spinning tool that carves wood into rounded forms), then assembled, painted, and dotted by hand. Their signature eleven dot angels, childlike figures with green wings bearing eleven white dots, are recognized the world over. This is wooden art made to be kept.
