Lea Stein Gomina the Sleepy Cat Brooch in Fabulous Tortoiseshell Effect (Sold)
Here we have a gorgeous Cat pin from Lea Stein of Paris. A classic Gomina the Sleeping Cat design. A cat just waking from a doze and peeping out from behind her curled tail! This new brooch is in a delicious colourway. In a kind of Tortoiseshell effect using a mix of natural looking bronze, black and brown with a touch of plum red. The use of a stripey laminate has given the appearance of fur and the pearlised white inlays for the pointed ears and the almond-shaped eyes adds real character to this lovely cat brooch. Many serious Lea Stein collectors show interest in the reverse of the brooches and this one has a red and silver pattern which is the reason the front looks so 'fur like' - fabulous and very, very clever use of celluloid acetate! 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'. 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.
