Christmas Card, Charlot Byj, Angels Embracing, Gilded, Original Unused, Hampshire, USA, 1940s–50s

Two sweet angels embrace beneath a scatter of golden stars, softly gilded and bordered in brushed gold — a rare and unused treasure.

Signed by Charlot Byj (1920–1983), whose greeting card and advertising art of the 1940s later inspired a beloved line of Goebel figurines, this soft-colored angel card is genuinely hard to find. Printed on fine linen paper by Hampshire (#342-4), it's the kind of piece collectors seek out for years.

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