Rene Lalique Tete De Paon Car Mascot C1928

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Bradley Gent
Description

Rene Lalique tete de Paon car mascot

A very nice example of this naturalistic study of a peacock head. The mascot has a nice grey colour with a very subtle amethyst tint.

Judging by the colour its most likely been on the bonnet of a car for part of its life.

The condition is very good. There are a few small chips and two small bruises to the circular base ring where it has been fitted in a radiator mount. Please study the photographs or contact me for clarification. There is also an internal air bubble visible above the R Lalique mark.

Intaglio moulded mark R Lalique along with the moulded mark France in the groove above the base.

This press-moulded glass car mascot represents a stylised peacock head from the Art Deco period. The sculpture combines clear and frosted glass finishes, displaying a naturalistic study with a grey colour and a subtle amethyst tint. Visible details include a fan-shaped upright crest, textured feather scales on the head and neck, a curved beak, and an intaglio moulded signature of R Lalique along with the word France in the groove above the base. An internal air bubble appears above the mark, and small chips and bruises mark the circular base ring. Measuring 20 cm high, the piece functions as a decorative object suited for display on an office desk.

FAQs

Introduced during the 1920s and 1930s, glass car mascots were decorative hood ornaments mounted onto the radiator caps of motor vehicles, popularised by designers such as Rene Lalique.

These pieces were crafted using press-moulded demi-crystal glass, featuring a combination of frosted and polished finishes to capture light and accentuate relief details.

Authentic period examples typically feature moulded or wheel-engraved maker signatures, precise detail definition in the moulding, and minor wear on the circular mounting base.

These sculptural glass objects function as desk paperweights, mantelpiece accents, or items displayed inside illuminated glass cabinets to highlight translucent moulded details.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and mild soap with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or sudden temperature changes.
