MARIE-CHRISTINE PAVONE - TAIL UP RED CAT BROOCH

This is a Marie-Christine Pavone brooch.  A red cat with a raised tail and a mischievous grin.  I love Pavone's work as she seems to have a sense of humour.  She is famous for re-working old pieces of galalith (a form of casein - an early plastic).  She buys up old pieces and cuts and polishes to a high degree then paints the design - a lot of skilled work.  I wish I had some more of her work and will try to find some!  Full details on my web site with measurements.  Price £65 ref: 3318 D39/12

PAVONE BROOCH - CAT'S FACE - RED, ORANGE, BLACK

This is a cat's face brooch by Marie Christine Pavone, Paris.  It is made in old galalith

- an early plastic.  She cuts, dyes, polishes, paints and lacquers each piece - which is very time consuming!  See Notes on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - on Pavone  (Manufacturers - my blog).  Price £65 reference 2722 C4/47.  I love the humour in her pieces! This cat has character!
