Miner with Candle Holders
After more than 60 years, this traditional figurine from our legendary grand design legacy has been brought back to life once again: the Miner. With his impressive height and his smart black and green ceremonial uniform, this “Curiosity” will enrich our collection and will be manufactured exclusively to order. Tradition has it that it was on a particularly beautiful summer’s day in 1912 that Grete Wendt designed the Miner, three years before she founded Wendt & Kühn. Her inspiration had come from the Freiberg Miners’ Festival with its magnificent parade of miners. In what was the summer house of the vocational school in Grünhainichen she produced the designs for three smaller examples before she finally created this 30-centimeter-high Miner with his two candle holders. His presence and grace make him a stand-alone decorative piece that draws the eye of everyone who sees him.
Richly Painted Angel, Large, with Candle Holder, Orange
Their green and orange dresses are imaginatively reminiscent of traditional Baltic folk art from the homeland of Olly Wendt, her artistic signature leaving its distinctive mark in the pattern. From over 520 rays and 400 points the magnificent gold highlighting is created.
The Richly Painted Angels, both 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) tall, provide a dramatic decorative effect, whether standing alone as a gracious solitary figure or together as a matched pair. And to ensure a perfect pairing, each of the color variants is available with the head turned slightly to the left or the right.
Caution: The candleholder serves only as decoration. It is not to be used to hold burning candles.
Four Arm Candelabra, with 4 Angels
Four angels have taken their place in the bright light of the candles. Their heads adorned with crowns, their wings decorated with gold dots. Sitting close together they strike up heavenly melodies – two singers with song books accompanied by two flute players. Their dark red robes give them a festive look and provide an exciting contrast to the dark blue mound on which they are sitting. Twinkling stars and golden specks of light conjure up the night sky, which on this particular evening it lit with the most beautiful shower of stars.
This impressive reissue was modelled on candelabras designed pre-1937. Developing something new while at the same time preserving the unique character and timeless design of the original model presented both a challenge and an opportunity.
The candelabra, 18 centimeters in diameter and 21 centimeters high (without candles), has candle holders. These can hold both wax and LED candles.
Music Box "Two Dancers in the Garden", with 36-note Musical Movement
Grete Wendt first came up with the design for the Music Box “Two Dancers in the Garden” in 1956, much later than most of the others, which were conceived in the 1920s and 1930s. The two dancers sway to the tune of the world-famous Waltz of the Flowers from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker played by the 36-tone Swiss-made music works.
