Gomina the Cat by Lea Stein of Paris in Tomato /Orange Red Gold Lace (SOLD)
Here we have a gorgeous Gomina the Cat pin from Lea Stein of Paris just perfect for a special occasion with its gold flecks and red colour.. This design is sometimes known as the sleeping cat and this particular example shows why - our cat is peeping out from behind her curled tail! Any cat-lover will know this look, it is as if pussy is just awake and watching you. This new brooch is in a bright ' tomato' or orange red colour but with the bonus of being laminated with black and gold fishnet lace which is a little more unusual to find. The use of contrasting black inlays for the pointed ears and the almond-shaped eyes adds real character to this lovely cat brooch. This Cat brooch measures approximately 3 inches by 2 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'. The back laminate is in a mottled burgundy with orange.
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.
Now for that history -
