Collection of 5 Fiber Angels Christmas Decorations. Includes 5 different fiber angels made from crocheted string, lace and straw. The tallest measures about 12" in height. The smallest is 6" long. Good condition.
This collection of five handcrafted fiber angels is a beautiful study in texture and traditional craft. Ranging in size from a delicate six inches to a commanding twelve inches, each angel is uniquely constructed from a mix of crocheted string, intricate lace, and natural straw. The ivory and cream tones of the materials give the set a timeless, ethereal quality, highlighting the varied patterns of the lacework and the rustic charm of the woven elements. These figures represent a peak of late-century artisanal holiday decor, where humble materials were transformed into elegant, symbolic forms.
While these angels are often used as tree toppers or mantle displays during the Christmas season, their neutral palette and tactile nature make them perfect for a Cottagecore or moody Victorian aesthetic. They serve as excellent curiosities when grouped together on a dark wood shelf or nestled among vintage glass ornaments and dried greenery. Despite their delicate appearance, the collection is in good condition, with the fibers remaining strong and the shapes well-preserved. Because each angel is handmade, they possess slight variations in their weave and silhouette, lending an authentic, "found" feel to the set. They offer a soft, quiet alternative to modern plastic decorations, bringing a sense of handmade history to the home.
This set is vintage, approximately 35 years old.
