A delicate 1950s Japanese import, each angel holds a candle in a posable chenille arm, her gown gathered in felt and gold glitter.
- Materials: Spun cotton, felt, chenille, tulle, glitter
- Quantity: Set of 2 (choose red or white)
- Dimensions: Approx. 2.5" long, each
- Origin: Japan
- Era: Vintage, 1950s
- Condition: Good vintage condition — one angel's face is slightly darker than the others, likely a light stain from age. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
Each set includes two matching angels in your choice of red or white gown, both finished with the same careful hand-detailing that's made this style a lasting favorite among vintage ornament collectors. A tiny star is pinned at each angel's collar, and they hang beautifully on a tree, tucked into a wreath, or displayed standing on a shelf.
A charming gift for the collector in your life, or a lovely way to start someone's own vintage ornament tradition. Choose your color above — you'll receive two matching angels in that shade.
Posable chenille limbs were a hallmark of mid-century Japanese ornament work, letting each figure be bent into its own small pose rather than molded flat. Angels like these were made in large quantities for the postwar American Christmas trade, and the detail that survives — the tiny stars, the careful felt work — is part of what keeps them so collectible today.
Pairs beautifully with the other vintage Japan angels in our shop for a fuller collection.
