The original designer is not known, but the wings came from a collection in Paris and may have been designed and made in that City This museum quality reproduction is made of Sterling Silver with the letters US gold plated.

As an overseas customer ordering from the UK, I have found www.norbay.com to be very speedy, helpful and professional. Shipping from the USA to the UK has not been a problem and the on-line tracking has allowed me to check the status of my orders. I love the content on the website and they always get new items to look at.
