LEA STEIN BROOCH - ART DECO CAT - RED & BLACK

This is my favourite out of the Lea Stein cat brooches.  Love the Art Deco period - and although this was not made then, she has captured the era!    This cat brooch is in red with black and white.  It is a genuine Lea Stein - I do not sell the fakes.  It has the correct pin on the back - marked Lea Stein Paris.  I usually have a good selection of her brooches in my shop at Grays Antiques in central London.  Grays Antiques in two separate buildings.  The Mews, where I am, has one of the biggest selections of Vintage Costume Jewellery in the country!  Do pay us a visit.  Price £65.  Reference 2792 C8/1
