"Under The Protection Of The Angel...."
We firmly believed in it at the time, so much so that it was necessary to protect the newborn's cradle with an immaculate cross. Milky in color, these crosses were often made of celluloid, sometimes of melamine and depending on one's state of wealth, Dieppe craftsmen could also provide them. For information, this benevolent angel did his office in rooms topped with a coat of arms in the middle of the 19th century... I have never encountered such a cross, often a putti or little chubby cherub sits there, this time, the angel standing on a cloud of rosebuds holds a lily in his arm and points to the heavens, his finger pointing over his large wings... superb. Precious object, full of emotion, in perfect condition.
