This enchanting Angel with Christmas Gift captures the pure joy of giving, a sublime expression of Val Gardena's sacred art. Hand-carved entirely, the small heavenly messenger stands with grace, its childlike face illuminated by a serene smile that heralds the festive season.
The wings, treated with a precious metallic gilding that enhances their feathered texture, contrast beautifully with the soft red-brown dress, finely decorated with delicate stylized floral motifs. In its clasped hands, the angel holds a pure white gift package, a universal symbol of affection and care. The coloring is crafted with artisanal care, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the work with matte finishes and brilliant details.
The contained dimensions (5, 8, and 12 cm) make this sculpture perfect for any nativity scene or as a refined table decoration. As per Dolfi tradition for sizes up to 56 cm, the work is masterfully carved in Maple wood, renowned for its fine grain and its ability to capture every minute detail, from the fold of the dress to the sparkle of the blue eyes. Each piece is a tribute to the sculptural excellence that has characterized our valley for generations.
