The Vintage Bronze Dreaming Angel Medal holds a single winged cherub leaning on a bank of cloud, his chin propped on one hand and his curls falling forward, wings folded behind him as he gazes up and away.
The pose is familiar from the two cherubs who lean at the foot of Raphael's Sistine Madonna, one of the most borrowed images in all of devotional art and a favorite source for jewelry through the nineteenth century. Lifted out of the painting and set alone in a beaded rim, the little figure keeps the quality that made it famous: an attention that is complete but unhurried, resting on something above the frame. It makes a natural gift at a baptism or for a child, and wears just as well for anyone who keeps the guardian angels in mind.
The Dreaming Angel medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
