Running Hare - Bronze Radiator Cap After Arthur Du Passage
After Arthur du Passage (1838-1909)
Running Hare
Bronze with silver patina
H: 7.8 cm; W: 15 cm; D: 3.8 cm
Editor's mark "JD"
Circa 1930
We were familiar with this model with a molded base, sometimes found with a silver patina but also in a more classic brown patina. This cast, produced by Jean Doré, is distinguished by a base characteristic of the radiator caps that adorned car hoods and enjoyed great popularity during the Roaring Twenties. This ornament, inspired by figureheads, was a symbol, directly evoking its owner. One chose their mascot according to their tastes, but also their passions, favorite sports, profession, beliefs, or the occasion.
