Product Description
.This charming display comes from a remarkable collection of vintage Erzgebirge wooden miniatures recently acquired from a single estate. The collection includes Easter rabbit villages, school scenes, angel orchestras, candle holders, and other folk-art displays produced in East Germany during the German Democratic Republic era. Each set is being offered separately, providing collectors the opportunity to acquire individual scenes or assemble a larger display from this carefully curated collection.
.This charming set of six vintage Erzgebirge Christmas angel candle holders features short-skirt angels pulling miniature sleds carrying evergreen trees and gifts. Each angel stands on an individual wooden candle holder base designed to hold a small taper candle.
These pieces are unmarked but are attributed to the Blank Workshop of Grünhainichen, East Germany, based on their construction, style, and close resemblance to documented Blank angel candle holders from the GDR era. Similar examples have been identified by collectors as Blank Workshop productions.
Each holder measures approximately 4 inches long and about 2¾ inches tall.
The set displays beautifully with matching natural wood tones, hand-painted details, carved trees, and traditional Erzgebirge craftsmanship. A wonderful addition to a Christmas pyramid display, angel orchestra collection, holiday village, or German Christmas décor collection.
Condition: Very good vintage condition. No candles are included. Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

Testimonials
I entrusted my mother and father's (Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz) memorabilia to , and during the entire evaluation and auction process, never for a moment did I feel anything less than completely confident, protected and guided by experienced and compassionate professionals who love what they do. We got wonderful results and the best part... it was great fun!"
