The Story
Beginning in 1925, René Lalique designed 30 glass car mascots to adorn the most prestigious vehicles of the roaring twenties. The combination of the distinctive design and the limited number make these figurines one of the most sought out by collectors. Taking inspiration from the “Longchamp” horse race track, where “Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe” takes place, René Lalique created the Longchamp radiator cap in 1929, now re-issued in crystal. He is used in some of the Lalique interior design creations.
