LEA STEIN BROOCH - THE FOX IN RED AND BLACK

The famous Lea Stein fox brooch - but in unusual colouring.  It is a black fox with red markings - but it has a light coloured thin layer in the middle - which results in a light outline to the fox.  Very clever!  www.gillianhorsup.com - reference 2755 C6/23 Price £65.

GOLD TONE VINTAGE DOUBLE SNAKE HEAD NECKLACE WITH GREEN STONES

Here's a double headed gold tone vintage snake head necklace.  It has oval green glass stone in the heads.  It is marked 'Foreign' and 'Rolled Gold'.  It is in such good condition I though at first it was more modern - but on closer inspection I would think it was 1930-1950's.  The marks would also indicate this.  Full details on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - reference 2754 C7/6

LEA STEIN BROOCH - LARGE, WIDE, WHITE SPARKLEY FOX HEAD

This is the large, fox head brooch.  It is in a sparkley white with black trim and is quite striking!  It measures approx 2 1/2 inches across.  It has the correct Lea Stein Paris pin.  To my knowledge Lea Stein has only done 3 fox pins - the full length curley fox, the thin face, and the wide face.  Do correct me if I am wrong!  At the moment I have all three in my shop at Grays Antiques - which is near Bond Street tube in central London.  Full details are to be found on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - and the brooch is £65 - reference 2747 C6/27
