It was made of pure gold, two cubits and a half for the length and the width; with two cherubims of gold on the two ends of the mercy seat.
The first supernatural beings that we would classify as Angel were Cherubims. They held flaming swords to guard the off-limits Garden. Genesis 3:24
Exodus 25:18-20 "And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof. And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be."There is no mention of angels, here or elsewhere, in relation to the ark of the covenant. In fact, there is no actual mention of angels in any book written before the Babylonian Exile. This passage talks of cherubim (sing: cherub), sphinx-like creatures with human heads, the bodies of lions, and wings, and makes it clear that they were man-made forms. The great guardians of the Assyrian Ninevah were probably quite like the cherubim in form.If indeed there was an ark of the covenant, it held two man-made cherubim, not representative of any individual person or creature.

It is unclear in the Bible which angel held the flaming sword. Here is the scripture you perhaps mean: Genesis 3.24. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
The archangels are in the 3rd Hierarchy along with Principalities and Angels. They are the 8th Choir; They carry God's most important messages to humans. They also command God's 'armies' of Angels in the constant battle with the "sons of darkness."
Most likely this refers to the cherubims in Genesis who guarded the way back to the Tree of Life after the fall into sin by Adam and Eve. Genesis 3 v24 - After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

Angels and their reference to having wings, must therefore be assumed to be man made.
