Goebel: Wachtmeister Cats
Adelia e Ottavio
Shipping: 1-3 days
Adelia e Ottavio are a quietly affectionate cat pair from the unmistakable world of Rosina Wachtmeister, where geometry softens into character and colour does most of the talking. Reclining back-to-back, they manage to look both companionable and serenely self-possessed – a familiar feline paradox, neatly resolved.
As ever with Wachtmeister’s work, the charm lies in the details. Their crescent-shaped faces, almond eyes and gentle smiles are offset by a playful palette of warm golds, soft blues, greens and blush tones, finished with delicate painted accents. The composition feels balanced but informal, as if the pair have simply settled where they pleased and see no reason to move.
Crafted in ceramic and finished by hand, Adelia e Ottavio sit comfortably between sculpture and character study. They work equally well as a focal point on a shelf or side table, or as part of a wider Wachtmeister cat family, where their calm companionship brings a sense of narrative to the group.
A distinctive and collectible piece, Adelia e Ottavio are available from the Cotswold Gift Gallery – ideal for admirers of Rosina Wachtmeister’s work, devoted cat lovers, or anyone who appreciates art with warmth, wit and just a hint of knowing mischief.
