The day and Night Angels were originally used as push plates used on a swinging door. The original salvage pieces were cast in bronze. The design is high Victorian.
The Day angel is noteworthy for its symbolic references to daytime. The central angel figure is framed by sunrays, blooming roses, and a dove. The angel and cherub have open eyes and proud postures. The cherub holds a flaming torch.
The Night angel is noteworthy for its symbolic references to the night. The central angel figure has Bat wings, as does the cherub. Both float in a star filled sky, and have closed eyes. The angel holds a branch of closed or possibly dead roses, while the cherub holds a night blooming flower, possibly nightshade. At the extreme top of the tile is a bat, at the extreme bottom is an owl.
The Day and Night Angels may be ordered in any of our 16 standard glazes, and custom color solutions are available.
