Wax Christmas Angel Figurine / Tree Topper Handmade in West Germany Angel stands 12 inches to the tip of her wing, and she is supported by a cone shaped, gold paper base. Her face and hands are wax, and her wings are made of feathers that have been painted gold. She wears a ruby red velvet dress; the color is just slightly deeper than it appears on the photos. Her cape is made of a luminscent, richly textured white brocade material, that has a metallic gold floral design woven throughout. The angel's eyes have a heavenly blue tint, and she is posed with her candle, holding vigil. This angel was made in West Germany, but I am not sure of the maker; she doesn't have a maker's mark or sticker inside the base. The face is similar to some of the very early Koestel angels from the 1950s, but I am not sure if Koestel ever made angels with feather wings. That said, this angel was most probably made in the 1950s or very early 1960s. The gold braid trim on the edges of the cape and on the bottom hem of the velvet dress is sewn on rather than glued / hot-glued, and gluing was usually the norm after this time period. Angel is in excellent, like-new condition. T is just a bit of wear to the edges of the feather wings and some light dust sticking to the candle that the angel is holding. The angel retains her original tie in the back. This
