AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elephant Mascot by François Victor BAZIN (1897 - 1956) for utility and industrial vehicles of the LATIL brand, resting on a sea green marble.
Free delivery by UPS
Certificate of authenticity upon request - Signed in relief by LATIL & F.BAZIN
The sculpture is quite imposing, just like the vehicles of the brand.
With its cut panels and facets, this sculpture is pure Art Deco style; it democratizes animal sculpture with a touch of modernism, just like LATIL vehicles were at that time.
The sculpture is in remarkable condition for a piece of this era and is worthy of being displayed in a showcase or used as decoration in a modern interior.
The sculpture will be shipped by UPS with Ad Valorem insurance in professional and eco-responsible packaging (using exclusively ecological and recyclable kraft tape).
LATIL is a French company founded in 1897, a pioneer in utility and off-road vehicles, which has marked the history of trucks, tractors, and military equipment before merging into Saviem in 1955.
Origins and innovations
The company was founded by engineer Auguste Joseph Frédéric Georges Latil in 1897 in Marseille, with the introduction of the Latil front-axle system, which allowed the motorization and steering of a vehicle's wheels through a single module. This was innovative for its time and was applied to the first front-wheel-drive trucks and cars.
Heritage
Latil is recognized as a pioneer of utility and off-road vehicles, with technical innovations such as front-wheel drive on trucks and the modular system of the Avant-Train. The company has made its mark in the history of French military, agricultural, and industrial machinery, and its name still exists today in archives, historical manifests, and collections of vintage vehicles.
In summary, Latil was a key player in the evolution of trucks and all-terrain tractors, combining technical innovation with industrial production before integrating into major automotive groups.
LATIL was a prestigious brand — below are the most extravagant models produced by the brand.
