In the days of the Underground Railroad, a handmade patchwork quilt was often more than just a blanket. Now known as Freedom Quilts, they were said to be embedded with a kind of code so enslaved people on the run could know the area's immediate dangers and where to go next. Lovingly stitched together by hand, these quilts stand as powerful symbols of strength, resilience and courage, with the Northern Star emerging as a symbol of guiding light. Now, these inspiring pieces of history join the ageless shimmer of glass mosaic in this hand-painted angel sculpture collection. Introducing the Wings of Freedom Sculpture Collection, a limited edition available exclusively from The Bradford Exchange. Your collection begins with Issue One, Freedom's Hope. Soon, your collection continues with Issue Two, The Grace of Faith, Issue Three, Hope Renewed and additional glass mosaic art sculptures, each a separate issue to follow.‡

Exquisitely handcrafted and hand-painted with painstaking care, each glorious angel sculpture in this collection stands a full 13 inches high and is dressed in a robe that shimmers with brilliant glass mosaic panels and metallic highlights. Glass mosaic is a treasured art form, and, thanks to an innovative technique, these angel sculptures boast radiant bands of hundreds of hand-applied glass fragments on their bodices and flowing skirts. The mosaics are then enhanced with colorful and symbolic patchwork designs inspired by handmade Freedom Quilts, including the enduring Northern Star pattern. With wings spread wide, they stand atop wood-grained bases inscribed with blessings from Scripture. This collection of stunning sculptures is sure to make an impressive addition to your decor and a thoughtful, inspirational gift for someone special. Intense demand is expected, so don't delay.
