Angel of Peace

Angel of Peace: A Handmade Macramé Christmas Angel in Dove Grey and Silver

The Angel of Peace is a handmade Christmas angel with fluffy cream macramé wings scattered with little gold leaves, a tiny gold crown, long wavy jute hair and a full skirt of dove-grey tulle dotted with silver, finished with silver-white satin and sheer champagne ribbons, all hanging from a jute-wrapped ring that doubles as her halo. She is knotted by hand locally, one at a time, so she is the kind of Christmas decoration that comes out of the box every December for years. Our team has been choosing and delivering gifts from our Claremont studio since 1999, and more than 5,800 customers have reviewed us across Loox, Google and Trustpilot. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery in Cape Town, or send her anywhere in South Africa in 2 to 4 business days. See more in our Christmas gift boxes.

A quiet, silver-grey angel for the wall, and a gentle way of saying "I'm thinking of you this Christmas."

What's in the Angel of Peace

• Macramé wings: soft cream cotton cord, knotted by hand and brushed out into feathery fringe, with small gold leaves tucked in
• A jute halo: a jute-wrapped ring that frames her and gives her shape
• Her face and crown: a soft white felt head, long wavy jute hair and a tiny gold sunburst crown
• A dove-grey dress: silver-dotted grey tulle over a grey bodice, with long silver-white satin and sheer champagne ribbons that move when she hangs
• Ready to hang: a fine gold thread with a bronze bead, plus a free handwritten card with your message

A Gentle Gift for a Christmas That Feels Different

For some people, this Christmas will have an empty chair at the table. A loud, sparkly present can feel wrong, and flowers are lovely but gone in a week. The Angel of Peace is quieter than that. She goes up on the wall, she comes back every December, and each time she does, she says that someone remembered. Add a few words at checkout, and we write them by hand on the card so they arrive with her.

A Soft Silver Angel for a Calm, Elegant Home

Dove grey and silver suit a home that leans towards white, linen, pale wood and soft metallics. The Angel of Peace looks beautiful against a white wall, beside a silver or white tree, or in a bedroom where you want a little Christmas without the bright red. She is the gift for the friend with a calm, considered home, a new mom decorating her first family Christmas, or a gran who collects angels.

Handmade Locally, Only a Few at a Time

Every Angel of Peace is knotted, brushed and dressed by hand by a local maker, so no two are exactly alike: the fringe falls a little differently and the gold leaves sit in slightly different places. Because each one takes time to make, we only have a handful this Christmas, and when they are gone, they are gone.

Where to Hang Your Angel

Hang her on a door, above a bed or a mantelpiece, at the end of a passage or on any wall where the tulle skirt and ribbons can fall freely. The silver dots catch the light beautifully near a window. She is made from cotton, jute and tulle, so keep her indoors and away from heaters, candles and open flames.

Delivery: Same Day in Cape Town, Nationwide in 2 to 4 Days

Order before 12pm and our own drivers deliver the Angel of Peace the same day across Cape Town, from Newlands and Kenilworth to Green Point and Somerset West. Anywhere else in South Africa, she travels by courier and arrives in 2 to 4 business days, so she is easy to send to someone in Durban, Gqeberha or wherever they are spending Christmas. For more gifts that travel, see our nationwide gift delivery.

Caring for Her After Christmas

When the decorations come down, fluff her wings and skirt gently with your fingers, wrap her loosely in tissue and store her in a box somewhere dry, lying flat so the tulle does not crush. Next December, give the fringe a gentle brush with your fingers and she will look as full as the day she arrived.

Her Sister Angels

The Angel of Peace has two sisters, made by the same local hands. The Angel of Joy wears sparkling Christmas red, and the Angel of Light wears warm champagne gold. See everything festive in our Christmas wreaths and flowers.

Order before 12pm for same-day delivery in Cape Town, or 2 to 4 business days anywhere else in South Africa. Each angel is handmade, so small details vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Angel of Peace handmade?

Yes. Each one is knotted and dressed by hand by a local maker, so every angel is slightly different.

What colour is the Angel of Peace?

Her wings are cream cotton with gold leaves, and her dress is dove-grey tulle with tiny silver dots, silver-white satin ribbons and champagne organza ribbons.

Is it a suitable gift for someone who is grieving?

Yes. She is a gentle choice for someone facing their first Christmas without a loved one: quiet, lasting, and she comes out again every year. We write your message by hand on the card that comes with her.

Can you deliver it outside Cape Town?

Yes. It is delivered the same day in Cape Town if you order before 12pm, and anywhere else in South Africa by courier in 2 to 4 business days.

Can it hang outside?

We recommend keeping her indoors. She is made from cotton cord, jute and tulle, which are best kept dry and away from direct sun.

What if it is sold out?

We only have a few handmade angels this Christmas. If she shows as sold out, the Angel of Joy or the Angel of Light may still be available.
