Historical Context
During the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, the Hollywood Regency style flourished, emphasizing opulence, bold lines, and the use of metallic finishes like brass.

These cats, with their sleek silhouettes and graceful postures, are a museum-quality piece of this design movement. They reflect the era's fascination with "safari" chic and the desire to bring a touch of exotic elegance into the modern home. Historically, such high-quality brass figurines were often produced in specialized European workshops to satisfy the growing demand for luxury boutique accessories.
