The second (Vol 2) of the title: “Unique Lalique Mascots” sub title: “The automotive radiator hood & desk ornaments of master glass artisan R. Lalique (including auction realisation prices with market values guide)” by G. G. Weiner with a Foreword by (the present) Lord Montagu of Beaulieu and a Preface by the BBC Antiques Roadshow expert Eric Knowles.
Produced and published by Grosvenor House Publishing Ltd in a deluxe hardback edition, Vol. 2 covers in depth and in far more detail all aspects of the car mascots including the as yet un-published description and images of the factory colour test pieces and prototypes. Also laid to rest the many rumors that abound concerning ‘The King’s Greyhound’, the one-off special commission for HRH Prince George, later to become King George VI of GB.
Information on modern made pieces, fakes on the market, where to look for and where to see these mascots, and also information on how to take care of them. See close-up details of the many varied signatures used at different periods of production. Up-to-date values and auction realisation prices etc. This has all the vital information that many specialists and auction houses should now have access to, sadly lacking in their descriptions ... up till now!
