Paper Angel Velvet Red 15 cm

A little angel with quite a talent for making an entrance

Unfold it, take a second look, and Christmas has quietly arrived. This 15 cm paper angel by Scheulen brings a wonderfully graphic touch to seasonal decorating. Its body is made from folded paper in a deep velvet red, opening into a voluminous honeycomb structure with an almost sculptural silhouette. Gold-coloured wings add a festive contrast to the warm red and just enough Christmas sparkle without taking things too far. A magnetic closure holds the unfolded shape securely together, allowing the angel to stand freely on a dining table, sideboard, windowsill or shelf. Once the festive season is over, it simply folds flat again for space-saving storage. Remarkably sensible behaviour for someone with wings. The combination of paper, rich colour and dimensional folds gives this Scheulen Christmas decoration a distinctive character, turning a familiar festive motif into something fresh and contemporary.

Festive, without making the whole room shout about it

Its compact size makes the velvet-red paper angel an easy addition to Christmas decorations that create atmosphere without occupying every available surface. Place it between candles, greenery and tableware on a festive dining table, or let it join an Advent arrangement, lanterns and seasonal accessories on a sideboard. Natural materials such as wood, linen and fir branches soften the rich red beautifully, while further red and gold details create a warmer, more celebratory setting. The colour also sits comfortably alongside cream, deep green, brown or black. Thanks to the magnetic closure, the angel takes only moments to open and is equally easy to fold away. Seasonal decoration can be pleasantly uncomplicated: full of presence in December, surprisingly modest when it comes to storage afterwards.

From seeds to Christmas angels – quite a journey

Scheulen has been working with decorative objects for rather a long time. Founded by Hans-Ulrich Scheulen in 1951, the family business developed from a seed retailer into a specialist supplier of floristry materials, decorations and giftware. Easter and Advent decorations became part of its growing range during the 1970s, and in 2026 Scheulen celebrates its 75th anniversary. Today, the company is run by the third generation of the family. That longstanding connection with floristry and seasonal decoration feels particularly fitting here: the paper angel takes a familiar Christmas symbol and gives it a lighter, more graphic expression. At LIVOSY, that is exactly the kind of festive decoration we enjoy – pieces that acknowledge tradition without making the room feel stuck in the past.

One angel, plenty of good company

The 15 cm paper angel works beautifully as a single decorative accent or as part of a small festive arrangement with Christmas figures, candle holders and other seasonal accessories. For a play on different heights and proportions, Scheulen also offers the velvet-red paper angel in a larger 25 cm version. Together, the two sizes create an appealing rhythm of shape and volume; on its own, the smaller angel remains pleasantly understated. On a Christmas table, its velvet red complements white or cream tableware, warm-toned glassware and natural greenery, while golden details echo the wings. Add wood and other natural textures for a quieter setting, or lean into red and gold for something more celebratory. A Christmas angel for anyone who likes a little festive charm, but can happily live without the frills.
