Angels and Stars

A festive display needs only a few pieces, as long as they are grouped: one tall figurine, two smaller ones, and a soft light to set them apart from the background. This selection brings together winged angels and LED light-up statues.

Group rather than scatter

Three figurines gathered on the same tray stand out more than the same pieces scattered around. Vary the heights and poses, since an angel with clasped hands and another holding its chin do not present the same silhouette. Keep a calm backdrop, a plain wall or a wooden board, to make the wings stand out.

What a light-up statue does

A light-up statue carries its own light: there is no need to illuminate it, it belongs where the room stays dark in the evening. An entryway console, a windowsill or the foot of the tree suits it well, and behind a window it can be seen from the street. Placed near a lit lamp, it fades away: it is the contrast with the background that brings it to life.

Storing after the holidays

The wings and hands are the most fragile parts: wrap them in a sheet of tissue paper before boxing them. Store the figurines upright, never lying on top of one another, then keep the light-up pieces separate from the rest. One box per family of objects saves time when you bring them out next time.

Frequently asked questions

How do you clean a figurine?

A soft brush or a dry cloth removes dust from the wings and folds. Avoid soaking the piece and rubbing the raised details.

Do these angels go with a nativity scene?

Yes, their upright silhouette holds its own in a nativity scene as well as alone on a console. Place them in the background and higher than the small figures, so the hierarchy of sizes stays clear.

What kind of light suits the figurines?

A warm white light, placed to the side, flatters a matte material and deepens the folds of the drapery. From the front, lighting flattens the relief of the wings.
