Ornaments, Dresden Christmas Angel, Blond with Purple Wings, Die-Cut Foil & Tinsel, West Germany, 1960s–70s

A Victorian angel framed in die-cut gold foil and tinsel, her wings tinted a soft purple.

German Dresden ornaments are some of the most prized pieces in vintage Christmas collecting — pressed paper, foil-stamped and die-cut into intricate two-dimensional medallions, originally finished with a "Western Germany" sticker now long faded with age. This one centers a blond angel beneath a die-cut gold star, tinsel catching the light from every angle. Authentic antique Dresdens can fetch hundreds, even thousands, of dollars among serious collectors.

A standout on an antique or Victorian-style tree, and a meaningful find for any Dresden collector — especially alongside its sister pieces in our shop.
