Electrically illuminated Angel and Miner, 26 cm, Colorful by Richard Glässer
Festive Figures of Light with Tradition – and Heart
When warm lights glow in the windows and the world outside rests in wintery stillness, the most magical time of the year begins in the Ore Mountains in Germany. For generations, the angel and miner have stood as radiant symbols not only of holiday anticipation but of deeply rooted values like light, faith, and labor. These electrically illuminated figures by Richard Glässer are more than decorations – they are cherished heirlooms, passed down through families and shining anew every year.
Erzgebirge Folk Art at Its Finest
The two colorful figures stand on round green bases and display exquisite craftsmanship: The Christmas angel wears a white gown adorned with floral patterns in pine green, reddish brown, and gold. A green crown sits atop her head, and flat red wings with delicate ornaments extend from her back. In both hands, she holds red candleholders, each with electric flame-shaped bulbs that create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Her facial expression is calm and kind.
The miner, dressed in black and white, proudly bears the traditional mining emblem on his green cap. His uniform features golden buttons, a finely painted mustache, and a sword at his side, making him a striking figure. He, too, holds two candleholders with matching 12V flame bulbs. Both Ore Mountain figures stand 26 cm tall. They are handcrafted in Seiffen from local woods such as maple, beech, spruce, and linden.
A Thoughtful Gift with Lasting Meaning
These figures belong to the well-known “Richard Glässer – Angel and Miner” series and represent premium craftsmanship proudly made in Germany. Each set includes the two figures, a 2.5-meter (approx. 8.2 ft) switch cord with plug-in transformer, and four replaceable flame bulbs. With their classic design and warm lighting, they are ideal for indoor Christmas decorating – whether on the windowsill, mantel, or as a glowing centerpiece on a sideboard.
These symbolic figures are more than festive décor – they embody regional heritage, family connection, and the quiet power of light. Anyone who chooses this set brings not only holiday charm into their home but also continues a living Christmas tradition.
