Raphael Christmas Angel Button Pin Raffaello
Angel (fragment of the Baronci Altarpiece) 1500-01
The face of an angel as only Raphael could paint it. I love the composition and the purity of line. Rich palette of Renaissance red and green balanced with black and white.
Perfect at Christmas time, beautiful and tasteful all year round. These make wonderful stocking stuffers, too.
I love these buttons because they're a fun and inexpensive way to change up and bring a little Old World charm to an outfit. Pin it on a tote bag or hat, or use to secure a vintage hankie or scarf to your purse strap or belt. The possibilities are endless.
Fully customizable, so you can choose the shape (round or square) and size. Matching cards, note cards, postcards, stickers and more are available in my gallery's Angel Collection.
