Slumber Vaults

Recommendation of the Month

During Advent and Christmas, our angels have played many rounds as an orchestra, made eyes light up as Christmas tree decorations, made gifts eye-catching on golden clips, or decorated the festive table in style. Now the angels have well earned their summer sleep. Safe they rest in a slumber vault: There is room for 36 angels in compartments lined with velour in different sizes. The special slumber vault offers your Christmas tree angels, the angels on tail, comet, star and moon as well as the angels on clip an optimal summer place. Here they linger until their next big appearance.

How the Angel got his Eleven Dots

Recommendation of the month

When fall shows its stormy side, maybe it’s time to curl up inside with a book? Immerse yourself in the world of stories and fairy tales, like that of the small shawm player in “How the Angel got his Eleven Dots”. This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of how the angel was given his distinctive markings – and the hurdles he had to overcome on the way. A real little hero.

The English language edition of the book is available from our specialist retailers and our in-house stores in Grünhainichen and Seiffen.

A serene masterpiece

Madonna with Christ Child

Since February 2020 the Wendt & Kühn collection has been enriched by a quite exceptional masterpiece of the finest craftsmanship: a 17-inch-high Madonna in two colorways that have never previously been included in the collection. While the Madonna in the dark-blue dress exudes elegance, we are touched by the gentle demeanor of the one in the pale-blue robe.

A Clever Cat in Big Boots

Novelties in August

Grete Wendt designed the fairy tale figurine “Puss in Boots” in June 1929 and shod the cunning creature in oversized angular boots in bright red. The curve of his tail and the feathers in his hunting cap give our velvet-pawed hero movement and dynamism. The feathers appear to bob up and down with each jaunty step the cat takes. A 24-piece jigsaw puzzle (dimensions 14.8 x 21 cm) is an enchanting addition to the figurine, providing fun for the smallest friends of Wendt & Kühn. The figurine and the jigsaw puzzle are available in our own stores in Grünhainichen und Seiffen and from our authorized retailers.

An Atmospheric Quartet

New for August

Advent is here and these figurines are creating anticipation for the reflective season: a Madonna in pure elegance, two graceful hovering angels on celestial bodies to adorn fir greenery and tasteful Christmas decorations during Advent, and a cheerful Marguerite Angel with Jigsaw Puzzle are available from our authorized retailers and our own stores in Grünhainichen and Seiffen.

Anniversary Calendar 2023

The result is twelve striking images that demonstrate with a virtuoso play of light and shadow, and techniques that reveal what normally remains unseen, the journey these design classics make through the Grünhainichen workshops. And in this way they present in an imaginative and artistic way and with masterly skill what we normally take to be familiar things. Unique images and powerful graphics that celebrate the Eleven Dot Angels in a way that has never been done before await you. Here you can read more about the calendar and can place a pre-order.

The Mindful One

Gold Edition No 15

The idea and execution could not have come at a more opportune moment, as our Gold Edition No. 15 carries the name “The Mindful One”. The angel reminds us that even the most ordinary, everyday things can seem like small miracles if we give them our full care and attention. The heavenly messenger carries in its hands a branch covered in 24-karat gold. The gently curved leaves, delicately worked stems and fine veins of the branch make it a symbol of how we should look after ourselves and others, together with nature and all its treasures. The angel with gold-plated base is available in a strictly limited edition – only 22,222 of these figurines will allow their owners to experience the magic of the moment.

The figurine is available from our authorized retailers and in our own shops in Grünhainichen and Seiffen.

Little Garden

Recommendation of the month

Music boxes from Wendt & Kühn look impressive not only when displayed on their own but also when combined with accompanying figurines that continue the story of the music box. Let yourself be inspired by the tableau before you. The scene on the music box with two girls can be extended by arranging other spring figurines around it. Using her small trowel, the girl in the pink dress has planted the flowers in the ground. Her gardening companion has laid down her rake and hurries up with the watering can. A butterfly completes the scenery perfectly. Give your ideas free rein and conjure up an atmospheric decoration for spring.

Summer accents in boho style

Recommendation of the month

Macramé, earth tones, natural materials and golden accents are all celebrating a comeback in “boho style”. It can bring a cozy atmosphere to your home, particularly in summer, without being too overpowering. Our Gold Editions fit perfectly into this style. Display your favorite figurines with dried flowers, in macramé or alongside unusual storage containers or gold accessories, like the singing bowl pictured here.

Here you can find more summer decoration ideas.

Summertime

New to the collection

The laughter of happy children, a light summer melody performed by an Angel wearing Crown and a delicious cupcake carried by the Grünhainichen Angel holding a tulip herald the start of summer at
Wendt & Kühn. Our Gnome also starts the summer season ready for action, motivating us to tackle those projects, large and small, at home or in the garden.

These new additions are available from our specialist retailers and our in-house stores in Grünhainichen and Seiffen.

Summer Is Almost Here

Recommendation of the month

The Girl in Hoop enjoys the early summer-like temperatures. Wearing a rose-pink dress, she sits in the meadow holding a large bowl of colorful flowers surrounded by birds chirping a delightful melody.

A happy duo

Recommendation of the month

For a long time our Blossom Kinder have been waiting for their big appearance. Now the winter is over and we put them in scene again - on the coffee table or on the wall shelf together with our favorite flowers. First it's the turn of the Blossom Kinder with winter and early bloomers - like our Boy with Crocus or our Girl with Christmas Rose. In combination with a delicate spring arrangement, they fill the room with harmony and anticipation of the warm season.

Both are available from our in-house stores in Grünhainichen and Seiffen and from your local retailer.

      Golden Autumn

      Recommendation of the month

      The friends of our Blossom Kinder herald in the autumn with their brightly colored lanterns. But they are not to be deterred by the cooler temperatures. The beautiful autumn sun allows them to enjoy just as much fun outdoors, surrounded by the vivid colors of nature, as in the summer – on long autumn hikes, at lantern parades for Halloween and at the 6th anniversary of Wendt & Kühn World in Grünhainichen, on October 3. And if the temperature does drop, the lantern children are warmly dressed in jackets, long pants and smart hats.

      The Girl with the Round Lantern and the Boy with the Long Lantern are available from our in-house stores in Grünhainichen and Seiffen and from your local retailer.

          Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

          Recommendation of the month

          The famous Moon Family was created by Olly Wendt, née Sommer in 1925. Father Moon, Mother Sun and their four Star Children not only watch over young and old as they sleep, their beaming faces enchant all who see them by night and by day. Whether arranged on our wall display, as a group on a shelf or with matching colored baubles in a glass vase – the Moon Family is always a real eye-catcher however you display them.

          When Angels go to sleep

          Our Tip

          During Advent and Christmas our Angels worked all hours. As an orchestra they played tune after tune, as Christmas tree decorations they made eyes shine, fastened to golden clips they added the finishing touch to gifts, and they decorated the festive table with style. So now these Angels need their well-deserved summer sleep.

          The Slumber Vault has been specially designed for your Angel Musicians. Its 36 velour-lined compartments in different sizes will ensure your Angels sleep in peace. Even the Angel at Grand Piano is well protected. The Special Slumber Vault provides the perfect summer home for your Christmas Tree Angels, Angels on Comet Tails, Stars and Moons and Angels on Clips. A place where your Angels can rest until their next grand entrance.
