Description
High above the rooftops of Montmartre, so the old story goes, two small angels keep watch over the city’s lovers. One carries a little arrow, which she uses only very rarely and always with care. The other keeps a tally of the couples who meet on the steps of Sacré-Cœur each evening as the sun goes down. Some nights are quiet. On others, especially in spring, the arrow flies so often that the two angels have to sit down on a cloud and rest, giggling at their own success.
These charming angels make a heavenly gift for a wedding, an engagement, an anniversary or Valentine’s Day. They are also a gentle present for a new baby, a christening, or someone who needs to know they are being watched over. The tiny arrow lifts away and can be placed beside them on the shelf or returned to their hands. Display the pair on a nightstand, a dressing table or a mantel, where a small keepsake can wait beneath the lid. Their soft painted faces and folded wings give the piece a sweetness that suits any age.
