Art Deco Pharaoh Head Hood Ornament Blue Uranium Glass — 1930s H. Hoffmann

Product detailed description

This Art Deco Pharaoh Head hood ornament was produced in Bohemia from original period molds designed by H. Hoffmann around 1930. It represents the interwar period when sculptural hood ornaments functioned as symbolic automotive mascots, drawing inspiration from history, mythology, and modern design.

The stylized pharaoh head reflects strong French Art Deco influence, combining geometric simplification with elegant proportions and calm sculptural expression. Hoffmann’s approach shows inspiration drawn from René Lalique, particularly in the smooth surface treatment, balanced lines, and refined modeling, while remaining distinctly Bohemian in execution.

Made of blue uranium glass, the surface has a satin matte finish and glows green under ultraviolet light, confirming its uranium glass composition. Originally intended as a car mascot, today this Pharaoh Head hood ornament is a highly desirable collectible for enthusiasts of Art Deco automotive sculpture, uranium glass, and historic car mascots.
