Wendt & Kühn 'King Melchior, kneeling, with cape' 2024

The Three Kings, which will complement the nativity scene arrangement from August, will delight with their very own charm - with their golden accents, the striking tablet arms and the interplay of brilliant colourfulness, strongly contrasting colours and the use of muted colours. The decoration of the clothing is truly royal: fine striped and floral patterns as well as artistic ornaments are astonishing. In the reissue of the Kings, which Grete Wendt designed in 1910/11 on behalf of the Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau, we analysed sketches and technical drawings, viewed sample figures from different years of production, and studied old photographs. Different color variants and decorations were available and the posture also varied. When transferring the historical models to production, we selected the figure variants that correspond to today's zeitgeist and are still connected to tradition.
