Hand-cut and hand-hammered from recycled steel at the Village Artistique de Noailles in Croix-des-Bouquets, this simply sweet angel stands with a tray in the back designed to hold a tea light candle. Light it, and the flame glows through the cut steel, casting warm patterns of light across the room — the angel illuminated from within, as if lit by something more than a candle. At 5\" x 5\" x 3\", it is the perfect size for a nightstand, a mantle, a windowsill, a desk, or a gift. Set it anywhere that needs a reminder of the presence of something holy and beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace it beside your Bible for your morning quiet time. Set it on the dinner table as a centerpiece of light and faith. Give it as a gift to someone who needs to be reminded that they are watched over, protected, and loved. This is the kind of piece that carries meaning far beyond its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Art of Croix-des-Bouquets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis angel was handcrafted at the \u003cstrong\u003eVillage Artistique de Noailles\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003eCroix-des-Bouquets\u003c\/strong\u003e — the most celebrated center of metal art in the Caribbean, and one of the most remarkable folk art communities in the world. The tradition of Haitian metal art was born in the mid-20th century, when artists in Croix-des-Bouquets discovered that discarded steel oil drums — the cast-off material of industry — could be cut, hammered, and shaped into works of extraordinary beauty. What began as an act of creative resourcefulness became a living art tradition, passed down through generations of skilled metal artists. Each piece begins as a recycled steel drum, flattened and coated with a protective gloss varnish, then cut and hammered by hand into the intricate designs that have made Croix-des-Bouquets famous around the world. Because every piece is made by hand, there will be slight variations from one angel to the next — each one unique, each one carrying the mark of the artist who made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Artist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece was created by \u003cstrong\u003eGaby Alcidon\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the skilled metal artists of the Village Artistique de Noailles. His work carries the full weight of the Croix-des-Bouquets tradition — the precision of the cut, the sweetness of the form, the life that comes through in every hammered line. When you hold this little angel, you are holding the work of his hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFair Trade Federation Certified\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece is certified by the \u003cstrong\u003eFair Trade Federation\u003c\/strong\u003e — meaning the artist was paid fairly for his work, the materials were sourced responsibly, and the purchase supports the community and the craft tradition that produced it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 5\" x 5\" x 3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Recycled steel, coated with protective gloss varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTea light candle holder — tray in back holds one tea light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFair Trade Federation certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted at the Village Artistique de Noailles, Croix-des-Bouquets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreated by artist Gaby Alcidon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlight variations between pieces — each one unique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.\" — Psalm 91:11\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DC-Powered by People","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42761863856205,"sku":"DC-3145684","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/4042\/2477\/files\/c17252773eef4af3b4e090d84f76f642.jpg?v=1772988335","url":"https:\/\/christiandecorandmore.com\/products\/little-angel-candle-holder","provider":"Christian Decor and more","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
