SOLD. A Gold Series Parrot Brooch by Lea Stein - 1970s Parrot Pin
Who's a pretty rare boy then? This is one Lea Stein parrot brooch that everyone will want to talk about! In a 30 year career selling vintage jewellery I have only had the pleasure of finding Lea Stein Gold Series pieces on a handful of occasions. This wonderful Vintage Parrot brooch from Lea Stein of Paris is nearly 50 years old. It is also a clever technical piece of work with little metal wires used within the cellulose acetate to create the pattern on the brooch. True Vintage dating to the 1970's this old bird is a beauty and if I don't sell him I'd be very happy to keep him for myself! In excellent condition ,the parrot brooch measures a little over 3 inches by 1 inch at its tallest and widest parts. This parrot pin has the golden repeat "Art Deco" pattern like Egyptian fans over the head, body and tail with toffee coloured beak and wing. Every piece of jewellery created by Lea Stein is unique due to the hand made process and when you have a Gold Series piece its quite a special brooch. This collectable brooch has the wishbone shaped white metal pin with roll over 'c' clasp bearing the word "Western Germany". It is certainly a genuine Lea Stein piece and true aficionados will be familiar with the fact that some of the design house's work was simply unsigned or did bear the "Western Germany" words on the fixture. Lea Stein's brooches always sit beautifully and the lightness of the plastics ensure they are suitable for your lighter fabrics like linen but they are equally at home on the lapel of a heavy winter coat. This vintage 1970's Parrot brooch is a remarkable 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.
