Bronze Louis Lejeune Polo Player Car Mascot (SOLD)

A super bronze Polo Player Car Mascot. Made from chrome plate over bronze, in the form of a Polo Player & Pony by Louis Lejeune, the makers mark on the base. C1930

The name Lejeune has been synonymous with first class bronze founding for the best part of 100 years. Established in 1910 as AE Lejeune (AEL) by Emil Lejeune and his wife Augustine, the company concentrated on small ornamental bronzes, decorative architectural fittings and, with the spread of the automobile, car mascots. The first of these produced by the company was almost certainly the “Speed Nymph”, the design for which was registered in 1917. 

This car mascot is in superb condition and has been mounted on a bakelite stand, would make a grate trophy or as a lovely display piece for any collector of equestrian memorabilia. (Dimensions taken on stand)

Dimensions: H: 19cm W: 15cm D: 11.5cm
