Joan and David de Bethel - Papier Mache Cat
Joan and David de Bethel
Papier Mache Cat with Glass Eyes (dated 1962)
A short poem written with a fine brush on the back of the cat reads: When Things Are Grim Good Luck I'll Bring
A further inscription on the base reads: Made by Joan and David de Bethel in the County Town of Lewes Sussex England 1962
Height: 7 1/8 in. (45 cm.)
£375
Every cat by Joan and David is unique and from this early period are particularly uncommon.
Joan and David first started to make cats as an alternative source of income from around 1960. Originally the first cats were made with layered paper over a chicken wire base until demand increased and they were replaced with papier Mache taken from a mould. The cats became increasingly popular and were sold through outlets in the UK and America. David would make the body of the cats and finish them off with varnish after Joan had decorated them. In 1977 David died and the cats changed in production from papier Mache to ceramic. Joan died in 2017 in Thornwood, Bexhill.
Condition: The paintwork is original and the body is in good condition apart from one very small area of minor paint loss near the base of the right foot.
