The childlike innocence of the Marguerite Angels from Wendt & Kühn lends them an irresistible charm. Their many and varied activities make them sought-after collector’s items and charming gifts. There are now more than 40 Marguerite Angels which capture the hearts of young and old alike.

Their history
On February 2, 1925 Olly Wendt took up her pencil and sketched a delicate-looking creature in a white dress with tiny blue and white wings and a crown of Marguerites in their blonde hair.
In 1929 there followed three upright four-centimeter-high angels in white dresses, which she turned into well-wishers by giving them a cake, a small tree and two candles.
From 1935 onwards they were joined by a host of suspended angels and since 1958, the Marguerite Angels in Rings have also featured in the collection.

Design and form
Delicate, almost fragile, most of them are no more than four-centimeters-high, and what they hold is their hands is usually even tinier: a bag of roasted almonds being filled with a tiny scoop, a telephone and a nutcracker, Christmas tree decorations in miniature. Making these miniature figurines requires a steady hand, a good eye and exceptional dexterity.
