Flade Mini Angels - Toys
These miniature angels are delicately handcrafted by Flade (pronounced FLAH-duh) of Olbernau, Germany. Flade’s work is emblematic of so much of what we love about German crafting. The smallest details - from the delicate painting on tiny accessories, to the placement of each piece of straw-like fiber to create a bunching of hair - are all expertly created to give life and charm to an object only a few centimeters tall. These pieces are truly made for those who appreciate the closer look.
Select from several styles.
Kerstin Flade-Drechsel started Flade in 1990, with a range of just seven angels. That line of angels expanded over the next few years, and was soon joined by child and Santa figures. In 1994, Kerstin’s father made Flade’s first music box. Today, their catalog includes hundreds of pieces over several categories. Each Flade piece is handcrafted by women at the house-factory in Saxony. Kerstin says that maintianing the centuries-old tradition of handmade German craft is Flade’s “honor and commitment.”
