Wendt & Kühn Angels Wearing Crowns
Blue wings, knee-length robes, and golden crowns — these are the hallmarks of Wendt & Kühn’s heavenly Angels with Crowns. First designed by Olly Wendt (née Sommer), who worked alongside founder Grete Wendt, these graceful yet childlike figures date back to before 1937. After nearly 80 years away, the 6 cm Angels returned to the collection in May 2019, with new designs added each year.
Each figure is hand-turned, assembled, and painted with exquisite detail by artisans in the Wendt & Kühn workshop in Grünhainichen — a charming town nestled in the Erzgebirge hills of Germany.
We invite you to join our Wendt & Kühn Collectors Circle newsletter — a space where collectors share stories, display ideas, and their love for these crowned angels and other timeless pieces.
