Figurine - Bronze

Bronze car mascot on a green marble base. Titled "Spirit of the Wind" after René Lalique.

Also known as Spirit of the Wind, the design is Art Deco, and the stylized hair of an androgynous figure is blown back by the wind, illustrating the powerful sense of speed. It was used by the luxury French car maker Delage to adorn the hood — rendered in glass. Height 17 cm. Base diameter 10 cm. Weight 1.6 kg. The lot will be securely packaged and sent by registered mail and insured.
