Vintage Erzgebirge Lichterengel German Light Angel Christmas Folk Art 13\" For Sale

This is a substantial, beautifully hand-crafted 13-inch Lichterengel (“light angel”) from the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) region of Germany. These wooden angels are a long-standing folk tradition symbolizing light, protection, and hope, and they remain central to German Christmas decorating.

This example dates to the mid-20th century (likely 1930s–1960s) based on the construction, tin candleholders, paint palette, and carving style. It is not a modern tourist reproduction — the surface shows genuine, age-appropriate wear consistent with decades of display

This hand-carved vintage angel has the classic Erzgebirge form with 3 tin candleholders 2 held in hand and 1 atop the headdress

Gilt painted metal/tin wings with rich authentic craquelure. The angel wears a hand-painted gown with ribbon foliate and gold details She has warm expressive folk-art facial details
