AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
French car mascot (radiator cap ornament) "Le desiér" (The Desire) by the French foundry/maker Badiere from the early years of the automobile, 1925. In that period it was very common to adorn luxury cars with elegant, streamlined sculptures, where the voluptuous or dynamic nude female form was a highly cherished theme to symbolize speed, wind and elegance. Such marked mascots were in the early part of the last century often sold separately as a luxury accessory or offered through exclusive shops to replace the standard radiator cap of cars of that era with something unique. It is a fantastic, fully documented collectible. Dimensions: 210 mm high, the pedestal is Ø 105 mm and it weighs 800 grams without packaging.
