Lot Essay

As we all know, Paddington is a rare and special treasure. Jewellery designer, Solange Azagury-Partridge, has taken this notion quite literally for her interpretation of Paddington. She has sprinkled him with gems and stones to give him a whole new level of grandeur, "Paddington is a well-loved character, cherished in so many childhood memories, which is why I made him out of precious materials. I wanted to reflect his precious status."
