Fame Angel
The Angel of
Fame is depicted throughout history, making her appearance in dramatic

an American example of the Angel of Fame from the 19th century.
Elegant, distressed finish makes it virtually indistinguishable from a real
antique. Mounted on a simple base for instant display. Place
among the books on a shelf for discovery or let it stand alone on a table as
the center of attention. Sure to be brought front and center for a
holiday display. Ideal gift for anyone interested in angels or
