A heavenly candle holder - autumn novelty 2009!
The legendary Angel 28 was created by Grete Wendt in 1912, before she even founded the company. It actually came into being as a contribution to the Bavarian Industrial Arts Show and was designed to serve as a heavenly decoration for a large candleholder ring. At that time, Grete Wendt had no idea that this design was to become the basic concept for the subsequent figurine compositions of the manufacture, paving the way for the unique character of the house of Wendt & Kühn.

This tiny Santa Claus helps spreading some Christmas cheer. This revised design of a 'waif-like Christmas Angel' Grete Wendt sent to her brother Johannes fighting in the field during the first wartime Christmas of 1914. This figure holds white wooden candles. It reflects the nostalgica that light has always brought to the yuletide season - although these candles are of course not meant to be lit!

Wendt & Kühn is the synonym for perfected wooden art with a long tradition in the heart of the German Erzgebirge.

Lovingly painted Santa Clauses, beautifully playing, decorative musical boxes and the chubby angels with their characteristic green wings and eleven white dots as well as the colourful blossom kinder make collector's hearts beat faster all over the world.

All objects are handcrafted and solely made in Saxony. They are distinctive pieces of art which have established the worldwide reputation of the Grünhainichen family business.
