A Lea Stein Flower Brooch - Vintage 1980s Flower Pin
This is a very unusual 3-D floral brooch from the French Designer Lea Stein. The Fabulous Flower is a Vintage one dating to around the 1980s. This designer brooch is made from cellulose acetate or Rhodoid and is very light and easy to wear. It features a single four petalled turquoise blue flower on a bright shiny teal blue stem. There are two golden brown leaves with a craquelure effect with one teal blue leaf behind it. The open bloom also has a craquelure effect in a shiny turquoise colour. Each of the components from the flower to the leaves has been created by layering the cellulose acetate which gives depth to the design. This flower brooch measures just over 3 inches by 1.5 inches at its widest parts and has the traditional Lea Stein pin back with a roll-over type fastener. The piece is signed - 'Lea Stein, Paris'. This is a contemporary design from Lea Stein who is famed for her jewellery, particularly her animal designs which have featured cats, foxes, dogs, birds and many other things over her history.
