Way back in 1912, even before she founded the company, Grete Wendt sketched a candle-bearing angel. This creation went on to become known as “Angel 28” based on its later catalog number. The aesthetic concept to this early design was to significantly shape the future company’s world of figurines. On 28 November 1914, Grete Wendt sent the angel to her brother Johannes, a soldier on the front during World War I, as a special treat for Christmas.

Although it stands only five centimeters high, the angel in the floor length robe looks completely serene. Its form is similar to the legendary Angel 28 designed by Grete Wendt even before the company was founded. What is different is the bright yellow star on which it stands. Based on an original design, this angel will only be made this year. The German words “Zum Weihnachtsfest 2019“ (For Christmas 2019) inscribed on the underside of the base emphasize the limited nature of this edition. An exceptional figurine that would make the perfect small yet precious gift for St. Nicholas Day on December 6.

"I came here from the forest. I tell you, it is a very holy night!” So begins the famous poem by Theodor Storm. This Santa Claus from Wendt & Kühn has also set out to bring joy to mankind and to make heart-felt dreams come true. A small Marguerite Angel helps to carry his load. Grete Wendt first breathed life into this harmonious pair in 1924.

Their green and orange dresses are imaginatively reminiscent of traditional Baltic folk art from the homeland of Olly Wendt, her artistic signature leaving its distinctive mark in the pattern. From over 520 rays and 400 points the magnificent gold highlighting is created.

The Richly Painted Angels, both 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) tall, provide a dramatic decorative effect, whether standing alone as a gracious solitary figure or together as a matched pair. And to ensure a perfect pairing, each of the color variants is available with the head turned slightly to the left or the right.

With their long flowing robes and golden wreaths of flowers on their heads are graceful and elegant: The Richly Painted Angels from Wendt & Kühn. Since autumn 2018, two musicians playing violins, each an impressive 17 centimeters in height, have been joining this exceptional product group. Arranged on a sideboard or shelf, these Angels create a real focal point all year round, on their own or as a pair.

By the way: With a steady hand the painter tirelessly applies almost one hundred dots to the Angel’s robe. And on her wings, tiny dots and hair-thin lines form a magnificent flower. Precise and detailed – masterly and artistic.

This majestic figurine designed in 1964 was the jewel in the crown of Grete Wendt’s career as a designer. The angel in her sweeping dress holds with pride a gold-colored candlestick. An exceptional design that proved to be the final one from this great designer. Previously it had existed only as a sample, just like many of the designs preserved in our archives – but since May 2016, after more than 50 years, it has been joining our collection for the very first time.

Blue wings, knee-length robes and blond hair – these are the features of our heavenly Angels wearing Crowns. They get their name from the golden crowns that adorn their heads. Olly Wendt (née Sommer), the creative designer who worked alongside Grete Wendt, designed these graceful yet childlike and joyful group of figurines pre-1937. After almost 80 years, this six-centimeter-high trio finally returned to the collection in May 2019.

A harmonious triad: While the first angel creates heavenly music with its small trumpet, the second provides earthly sustenance with its basket filled with juicy apples and delicious cookies. The third member of the group has the best task of all – carrying a beautifully wrapped gift.

You can almost hear the groaning of the little girl’s sleigh laden with all her goodies – in addition to the bright star, she’s pulling freshly baked bread, wine and even a splinter box, so popular throughout the Erzgebirge in former times for safekeeping small valuables. There’s a cold wind blowing outside, as evidenced by the girl’s warm scarf and thick wool socks. Her young companion is meanwhile keeping one hand warm in his pocket.

The delightful figurine composition was designed more than 40 years ago by Olly Wendt as a gift for friends and family. They were never produced in series and have been seen in 2014 for the very first time by the general public.

Conceived more than 40 years ago as a gift for family and friends by Olly Wendt, the creative designer at Grete Wendt’s side, the boy with tree first appeared to a large audience in autumn 2014 and has been spreading a touch of wintery spirit ever since. He has never been manufactured in volume before. Bundled up in his warm clothes and furnished with holiday accessories, this figurine will definitely make unusual accent pieces.

Please be sure to keep the wick of your candle trimmed (to about 0.5 cm) so it will only burn down on the inside. A fire stopper at the base ensures the flame will safely extinguish at the right time.
