Lalique Feature: Tête D’Aigle Lalique eagle head hood ornament
Tête d’Aigle is the renowned Eagle’s Head hood ornament, made famous as the statue often fitted to the cars of Nazi officers, although it is a shame that the regal car mascot is infamous for this reason instead of its magnificent design.
First introduced in 1928, Tête d’Aigle is a strikingly realistic depiction of an eagle, it’s head held proud with alert eyes that seem to follow you wherever you go- just like a real one. The delicate glasswork on the head and neck create smooth feathers, while the long beak is closed tight, stoically pursed as the eagle waits and watches.
Model number 1138 measures some 4.25 inches in height x 5.5” long x 3.25” wide.
This gorgeous piece is in excellent shape with no chips, cracks and FREE of screeches . It is in pristine condition!
On the bottom you can find the original sticker and the “ Lalique, France “ logo carved in.
