🐩 Original Art Deco Bronze Poodle Mascot | 1940s British Classic Car Sculpture
🎨 Subject & Medium
Bring home a masterpiece of Art Deco automotive design with this rare and captivating bronze poodle mascot sculpture. Handmade from heavy cast bronze and dating to circa 1940 (mid-20th century), this full side-profile poodle is mounted on its original grill fixing bolt, making it a standout addition for collectors of automobilia, fine art, or vintage design.
🖌 Composition & Technique
This striking sculpture beautifully reflects Art Deco elegance — a style known for bold geometry, luxurious materials, and dynamic form. The poised poodle figure, captured mid-stride, exudes confidence and movement, embodying the streamlined sophistication of the Art Deco era.
The superb casting showcases every detail: the curling texture of the poodle’s coat, the refined arch of its stance, and the balanced symmetry of its silhouette. The rich, time-earned patina on the bronze adds warmth, depth, and authenticity, making this piece not just an ornament but a living piece of design history. While unsigned, the design suggests it may be an experimental Desmo model, adding intrigue and rarity.
