Angel Playing Harp on Blue Pillow Limoges Box

Seated on a soft blue pillow, a small angel plucks the strings of a harp, filling the room with imagined music. Angel and cushion together make up a porcelain Limoges box, painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Heavenly Strings on a Blue Cushion

The harp has been the instrument of angels in art for centuries, and this cherub carries on that tradition in miniature. The blue pillow gives the piece a calm, restful base, while the angel and harp add a sense of quiet celebration. Every angel is painted individually, so faces and colors vary slightly.

Moments of Grace

This is a fitting present for a christening, a first communion or a confirmation, and a gentle sympathy gift for a family remembering someone who loved music. Harpists, church musicians and choir directors will also appreciate it as a thank-you.

Place it on a bedside table, a piano top or a shelf in a quiet reading corner. At Christmas it can join a nativity or an angel display, then return to its year-round spot once the season ends.
