Description
Angel chimes are a form of Christmas decoration popular in Europe and North America. Angel chimes have candle holders at the base which provide heat which turns a turbine at the top, which powers a series of trumpet-holding angel figures which "fly" around in a circle, striking bells beneath them.
English: The Swedish sound of Christmas? Angel chimes are a form of Christmas decoration popular in Europe and North America. Angel chimes have candle holders at the base which provide heat which turns a turbine at the top, which powers a series of trumpet-holding angel figures which "fly" around in a circle, striking bells beneath them.


The form patented in 1905.
The earliest known patent for an angel chime was filed by Walter Stock of the German toy firm Adrian & Stock.

In Sweden
Christmas angel chimes are popularly known as Änglaspel (angel carillon). After the war, Swedish-made chimes became popular in both Europe and North America. These brought a simpler aesthetic in brass.
