Themes and variation. The Chanel double lion brooch was also made as a single lion brooch, no doubt inspired by her time in the UK (and her astrological sign). Lagerfeld even paid homage to Chanel's Leo leanings by constructing a MASSIVE lion sculpture (based on a bronze lion in her apt) in the Grand Palais for the Haute Couture F/W 10/11 presentation ( it). This supersized lion clutched a massive pearl from which the Kaiser exited to take his bows. Pretty Cool.

Coco Chanel synthesizes her favorite Go To motifs into one brooch. The lion (her Astrological sign), the Kilt Pin (her visits to the Scottish Highlands) and the gilt Baroque of her native France. This large gilt bronze brooch is made by hand by Maison Goossens. A spiral of wirework is wrapped around the Kilt pin, onto which is attached her lion head motif. A beautifully and practical brooch for securing a scarf, sweater or on a suit. Gilt Bronze with early mark. 1950's France. 3.75 x 1.25.
