Created by René Lalique, this radiator cap bears witness to the golden age of automotive ornamentation in the 1920s-1930s. At that time, radiator caps went beyond their simple function to become veritable works of art, prized by collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
Lalique, master glassmaker and jeweller, imagined a series of glass mascots for prestige cars, capturing movement and grace through the material's transparency. These pieces embodied refinement and technical progress, reflecting the elegance of Art Deco and the taste for luxury that characterized the great names in automobiles.
