Lea Stein of Paris - Cicada Brooch - Art Deco Revival (SOLD)
This bold and stylish Cicada brooch is the work of Lea Stein of Paris and is a contemporary design inspired by the Art Deco era with a bit of Glam Rock thrown in for good measure! This fabulous bug pin is cleverly constructed to give a 3-D effect. It’s a true “Glitter Bug”! So what is going on here? First we have a bold geometric shape and Bakelite style blocked plastic to create the big black bug eyes and red and black head. The wings have sandwiched layers - the top in glitter silver, the middle black to contrast with a thin layer of gold glitter and a black base to the reverse. Measuring 3.5 inches long, 1.5 inches at its widest point and standing up three quarters of an inch from its back Pin this sure is a serious insect! To the reverse it has a white metal pin bearing the 'Lea Stein, Paris' mark and it fastens with a roll over type clasp. Lea Stein is welll known for her vintage brooches and vintage jewellery and this is her story...
