Bronze car mascot called Victoire or Spirit of the Wind, after a design by Lalique. Amazing bronze bust in Art Deco style that shows a masculine (or perhaps feminine) head with hair shaped like a wing. In line with the pre-occupation of Art Deco with aerodynamics and the specific vision of modernity, the figure looks like it could be in a wind tunnel. The piece is the embodiment of Art Deco style and elegance and would be a great addition to any home collection. It would be a truly quirky decorative collection piece for your home. The piece sits firmly on a green marble base which is polished and smooth to touch. The patina on the bronze is also smooth to the touch. Very well packaged and shipped.
