Paul Cardew 'Cool Catz' | Sitting Cat in Rare Blue Harlequin & Silver

A Vibrant Modernist Masterpiece: The Sitting Cat is the most composed and stately silhouette in the Cool Catz collection. In this rare Blue Harlequin edition, the figure is transformed into a bold piece of pop-art. The striking geometric pattern—a vibrant mix of azure blue, lemon yellow, forest green, and deep black—wraps around the sleek feline form to create a truly eye-catching display piece.

The "Silver Edition" Rarity: While many Cardew pieces feature gold accents, this Harlequin variant is distinguished by its elegant silver gilding. The silver metallic finish perfectly complements the cool blue and green tones of the pattern, offering a more contemporary, "high-design" aesthetic that was produced in significantly smaller quantities than the standard gold-gilded versions.

Provenance & Quality:

• Studio Origin: Designed and handcrafted in England by the Paul Cardew Design Studio.

• Ephemeral Production: Like all pieces in the Cool Catz series, this was only manufactured for a brief window in the early 2000s, making surviving examples in this specific colourway a notable find.

• Hand-Finished Detail: The precision of the harlequin diamonds showcases the exceptional skill of the Devon studio artists.

Collector's Note: The Blue Harlequin Sitting Cat is the perfect "anchor" piece for a collection. Its height and bold colours make it a natural centrepiece when surrounded by smaller kittens or more minimalist designs.

Cool Catz and Kittenz

Cool Catz and Kittenz were another amazing creation by Paul Cardew. In each set there are four differently poised felines, the larger Catz and the smaller Kittenz. Each set consists of one sitting, one stretching, one sitting with paws crossed and one in a scared pose. Paul Cardew has an incredible ability to have created the exact representation of a cat's posture in these designs. Anyone who owns a cat will know exactly what we mean! From every angle they are absolutely fabulous! The decorations on them are stunning and include either silver gilding or gold gilding using 18ct gold lustre, just to add that little extra bit of purrfection!
