  • A scalloped lower edge finished with hand-knotted gold fringe, in the same metallic bullion used for ceremonial banners.
  • Hung from a turned pale oak rod with wooden finials; rod and hanging fixture included, ready to display the moment it arrives.
  • Approximately 16" x 20" (40 x 50 cm). Spot clean only.
Design

The angel is embroidered at the centre of the linen in the colours of the devotional manuscripts our illustrations draw on: soft alabaster, dusty blue and gold. A slender olive-leaf vine frames the figure, and below it a curved ribbon carries the angel’s name in gold thread.

Because each stitch is placed by hand, the figure sits raised above the cloth with genuine depth — the light catches the gold along the ridges of the thread. It reads clearly from across a room, and rewards you when you stand close.

Research

The angel is drawn from a traditional calendar that divides the year into seventy-two windows of about five days, each carrying the name of an angel. We worked from several independent published versions of that calendar and used only what they agree on.

Where sources contradict each other, we leave the detail out rather than choose between them. The calendar is fixed and public, so the same birth date always gives the same angel — you can check it, and it will match.

Personalization

There is nothing to write. Enter a date of birth at checkout and the calendar does the rest: that date decides which of the seventy-two angels is embroidered, and which name is worked into the ribbon.

Ordering for someone else? Enter their date of birth. Everyone born within the same five-day window shares the same angel — we say so openly, and it is the point: the banner marks the days, not the person.

Every Stitch Placed by Hand

This is the one piece in our collection that no machine touches. The linen is stretched on a frame and the angel is built up thread by thread in silk and gold — the wings, the folds of the robe, the letters of the name, each worked by a single embroiderer over several days. That is why the figure stands raised off the cloth, why the gold catches the light the way it does, and why the colours will still be true long after you have passed it on. It arrives on its rod, finished and ready to hang.

It Arrives Ready to Give

Each banner is rolled around its rod, wrapped in tissue and packed in a plain cream box, with a blank card left inside for you to write on. There is no branding on the outside, so if it is going straight to the person it was made for, it arrives looking like what it is — a gift, not a delivery. And because the rod and the hanging fixture are already fitted, whoever opens it can put it on the wall the same afternoon.

FAQs

What is the banner made of, and what size is it?

Warm ivory linen with a dusty-blue border, a scalloped lower edge and hand-knotted gold fringe, hung from a turned pale oak rod. It measures approximately 16" x 20" (40 x 50 cm) and is spot clean only.

Is the design printed on the banner?

No. Every element is embroidered by hand in silk and gold metallic thread. Nothing on this piece is printed — the figure sits raised above the linen and you can feel it under your hand.

What exactly is embroidered on it?

The angel of the birth date you enter, framed by an olive-leaf vine, with the angel’s name worked in gold thread on the ribbon below. Nothing else — no dates and no paragraphs.

Does it come ready to hang?

Yes. It arrives on its pale oak rod with the hanging fixture included — nothing to assemble, nothing to buy separately.

Why is this piece more expensive than the others?

Because it is the only one worked entirely by hand. A single embroiderer spends several days on each banner. Our other pieces are beautiful and made to last, but they are made by machine.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes — we offer worldwide shipping. Each banner is embroidered by hand to order, so please allow 14–21 business days for production, plus shipping time.

I don’t know anything about birth angels. Can I still order?

Yes — you don’t need to know anything in advance. Enter a date of birth and the calendar does the rest.

How is the birth angel decided?

By the date of birth alone. The calendar divides the year into seventy-two windows of about five days, and each window has one angel. It is fixed and published, so the same birth date always reveals the same angel.

What if two people share the same birth angel?

They will — and we say so openly. Everyone born within the same five-day window shares the angel.

Is this a reading or a prediction?

No. We present a documented traditional calendar as a keepsake. We make no promises about protection, fortune or the future.

Can I order it as a gift, or in memory of someone?

Yes — many are ordered for a mother or a grandmother, or in memory of someone loved. Enter their date of birth and the banner is embroidered for them.

What if I’m not happy with it?

Every order is covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee. Write to us and we’ll make it right — no forms, no hassle.
