BRONZE ROLLS ROYCE CAR MASCOT CHARLES SYKES SILVER SPIRIT DECO


You are viewing a gorgeous bronze casting of the famous Spirit of Ecstasy (on the hood / bonnet of every Rolls Royce motor car) on a marble base. Like every good work of art there is a great story behind its making (see below). The piece is offered in perfect condition and ready for home use right away and would make a great collectors piece for any home or collector. The piece is signed near her foot - please see the close up photo. This is certainly the most attractive and probably the best known motor car mascot in the world. Designed by Charles Robinson Sykes, she has adorned the radiators of Rolls-Royce motor cars since 1911 and concealed a hidden passion. This marvellous mascot was modelled after a woman who had bewitching beauty, intellect and esprit - but not the social status which might have permitted her to marry the man with whom she had fallen in love. This is the story of Eleanor Velasco Thornton, whose liaison with JohnWalter Edward-Scott-Montagu (after 1905 the second Lord Montagu of Beaulieu) was to remain a secret for a decade or more, principally because both partners acted with the utmost discretion. John Scott, heir to his father's title, was a pioneer of automobilism in England. From 1902 he was editor of the illustrated magazine The Car. Eleanor V Thornton was employed as his secretary. Friends of the pair knew of their close relationship but they were sufficiently understanding as to overlook it. The bronze is offered in very good condition ready for home use right away and we will ship this to anywhere in the world. We bought this from a dealer in London's Camden Passage. Dimensions are in inches: Width x Depth x Height 13 x 14 x 21

NO RESERVE!

WHY BUY ANTIQUES?
Unlike many other material purchases antiques retain and increase in value. They are a sound
investment as they appreciate in value - aesthetically and economically. That is why frequently
people invest in antiques rather than stocks and shares when the economic climate is not favourable. They make great family heirlooms and gifts as they are passed down generation to
generation. Of course all our items are hand sourced and picked by us so we like to think they are beautiful too and will look great in your homes!
