This superbly sculpted brooch depicts a relaxed leopard draped across a textured tree branch, with one foreleg hanging loosely, its long-spotted tail trailing behind and its head resting comfortably against the branch. The beautifully observed pose gives the leopard a wonderful sense of languid strength, as though it is resting while keeping one amber-coloured eye on its surroundings.
The leopard is finished with high-quality enamel work in warm olive, tan, golden brown and black, creating an intricate pattern of hand-finished spots and rosettes across the body, legs and tail. The glossy enamel allows the underlying metallic warmth to shimmer through, while the richly textured gold-plated branch provides a striking contrast and adds further depth to the sculptural design.
Measuring 7.5 x 4 cm (2.95 x 1.57 in), this is a substantial statement brooch with a secure rollover safety catch. It came from my mother’s jewellery collection and remains in stunning condition, with the enamel pattern, gold plating and detailed modelling presenting beautifully.
Please like, share or tag someone who would happily give this wonderfully relaxed leopard a new branch to claim. 🐆✨
