LALIQUE MASCOTS for collectors of fine exclusive automobilia

******+Hibou / Owl 1181 introduced on 27/1/1931. This great Owl is the second rarest of all 30 different Lalique mascots (with Renard being the rarest and Comète, coming a decent third!).

Historic note: This rare piece was unfortunately badly damaged in an accident in 1932 when mounted onto a Bugatti Type 57 radiator. The mascot is still on its original contemporary metal radiator cap! It comes with provenance as it was purchased in France from the original owner's family, who tell the story of how the car was rolled and hence damaged the mascot! The image of the Bugatti Type 57 in the background supplied by Ivan Dutton (Bugatti cars) Ltd. The full fold-out 10 panel catalogue can be sent to you for £1 plus your s.a.e. (Stamped Self Addressed Envelope) to us at The Lalique Gallery at The White Lion Garage, Clarendon Place, Kemp Town, Brighton, Sussex, BN2 1JA.
