{"product_id":"franklin-mint-art-deco-bronze-cat-curio-cabinet-cats-vintage-figurine-c1990","title":"Franklin Mint Art Deco Bronze Cat Curio Cabinet Cats Vintage Figurine c1990","description":"A wonderfully elegant vintage Franklin Mint bronze “Art Deco” cat from the collectible Curio Cabinet Cats Collection, dating to around 1990.\n\nThis striking little sculpture is one of the later Art Deco-inspired designs from the collection and features an exceptionally sleek, stylised seated cat with a long slender neck, pointed ears and beautifully exaggerated curled tail.\n\nThe cat is made from bronze, with a rich warm brown finish that complements its wonderfully streamlined Art Deco form. Beside its front paws sits a contrasting cream-coloured ball, adding a playful little detail to an otherwise wonderfully sophisticated design.\n\nThe simplified lines and sculptural silhouette make this one particularly appealing — it works just as beautifully as a small piece of Art Deco-inspired decorative sculpture as it does within a collection of Franklin Mint cats.\nThe piece is marked ©FM near the base.\n\nMaker: Franklin Mint\nCollection: Curio Cabinet Cats\nDesign: Art Deco\nDate: circa 1990\nMaterial: Bronze\nColour: Rich brown bronze with cream-coloured ball\nHeight: approximately 7.5 cm \/ 3 inches\nMark: ©FM\n\nFranklin Mint produced more than one Art Deco-inspired design within the Curio Cabinet Cats collection. This is the later seated bronze Art Deco cat with cream ball, rather than the earlier walking 24-karat gold-plated Art Deco cat.\n\n*Condition*\nIn very good vintage condition.\nThe bronze cat presents beautifully, with no obvious breaks, losses or repairs identified during inspection. The ears, facial features and wonderfully curled tail are intact, and the cream-coloured ball is present.\nThere are some light age-related marks and rubbing to the underside of the base, as shown in the photographs, together with the occasional very minor surface mark consistent with vintage age and handling.\n\nPlease study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description and condition report.\n\nPlease note: This listing is for the Franklin Mint cat figurine only. Original collector's card, cabinet, packaging and paperwork are not included.\n\n*A Note from FS Vintage Co.*\n\nAll of our items are genuine vintage or antique pieces and have been loved throughout their lifetime.
