SOLD An Unusual Lea Stein Gomina the Sleepy Cat Brooch in Fabulous Tortoiseshell with a Difference!
Here we have a gorgeous and very special Cat pin from Lea Stein of Paris. What appears at first glance to be a classic Gomina the Sleeping Cat design reveals some intriguing artistic touches. This brooch is in a Tortoiseshell effect using a mix of natural looking caramel and brown. But we also have the added bonus of some golden ribbons in a kind of latticino glass effect where the ribbons are part of the inlay. Then to add to the design there are crossed hatched black and red lines adding subtle sparkle too! A little touch of Ivory coloured inlay for the pointed ears and the almond-shaped eyes adds real character to this lovely cat brooch. The reverse side of the brooch is also most interesting as there is a brown background to the body decorated in light gold coloured designs of stars and foliage - reminiscent of Xmas gold leaf on a chocolate treat; what fun!. 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.
