Art Deco Car Mascot “Spartan Warrior” in Bronze on Black Marble - Golden Brown - H. 15,5 cm

A warrior’s head in profile, his helmet crest sweeping back like a wave.

In the 1920s and 1930s figures of this kind crowned the bonnets of grand motor cars, at once emblem and status symbol. On a desk, a shelf or in the garage of a classic-car collector, the little Spartan is a gift with a story.

Craftsmanship

Parallel ribs structure the crest while the face stays severe and smooth, true to the geometric spirit of the era. Beneath the golden-brown patina sits a round base of black marble.

Care

A soft brush or a dry microfibre cloth is enough. Avoid metal cleaners, and keep acids such as wine or lemon away from the marble.
