Christmas Card, Charlot Byj, Angel Praying, Gilded, Original Unused, Coronation, USA, 1940s–50s

A sweet angel bows in prayer beneath a single large golden star, softly gilded and bordered in brushed gold — a rare, unused piece of holiday history.

Signed by Charlot Byj (1920–1983), whose 1940s greeting card and advertising work later inspired a beloved line of Goebel figurines, this soft-colored angel card is genuinely hard to come by. Printed on fine linen paper by Coronation (#2131), it completes a trio of her rare angel designs.

A rare treat for a Charlot Byj admirer or greeting card collector, and a meaningful gift for anyone who loves gilded, vintage religious art. Pair it with our other Charlot Byj angel cards — Angels Embracing and Angel Singing — to complete the set.
