Description
This is an angel hanging decoration in gold, with a rounded head, a body that flares gently towards its base and two wings spread wide to either side. The whole surface is covered in a crushed, mosaic-like texture of small reflective pieces, so rather than a flat shine it throws back little points of light as you walk past. It is made from iron, glass and jute and measures 17cm tall, 15.5cm long and 5.5cm wide, a generous size for a Christmas decoration: big enough to read clearly on a door or a bare wall, not only among the branches of a tree.
A small metal ring at the top of the head carries a loop of jute string, so it is ready to hang from a door handle, a hook, a window catch or a sturdy branch. We like it tied to the handle of a hallway or living room door with a ribbon and a sprig of pine, where everyone passes it on the way in, or hung in a window so daylight plays across the texture. At 0.14KG it wants a strong branch near the trunk rather than a slender tip. It suits anyone who loves a traditional Christmas angel but would like a little more sparkle than a painted figure gives.
It has a sprayed colour finish over the textured surface, and the wings are cut with a clean curved edge, so the outline stays crisp against a plain door or wall. The styling props shown are not included. For a simple display, tie a length of ribbon through the string loop, add a sprig of fresh pine behind the angel and hang it at eye level on a door, or let it hang from a mantelpiece garland among other gold pieces so the textures catch the same light.

It is made from iron, glass and jute, with a sprayed colour finish in gold over its crushed, mosaic-like textured surface.
How big is the angel?
It is 17cm tall, 15.5cm long and 5.5cm wide, which is a generous size for a hanging decoration on a door, a wall hook or a tree.
How does it hang?
A small metal ring at the top of the angel's head carries a loop of jute string, so it is ready to hang from a hook, a handle or a branch.
Is it heavy enough to bend a tree branch?
