Art Deco Boudicea Hood Ornament Clear Glass with Black Glass Base — 1930s H. Hoffmann

Product detailed description

This hood ornament was produced in Bohemia from original period molds created by H. Hoffmann around 1930. It represents a period when expressive sculptural hood ornaments for vintage cars played an important role in defining the identity and elegance of luxury automobiles.

The design depicts Boudicea, a powerful female figure symbolizing strength, leadership, and defiance. The sculptural composition reflects the influence of French Art Deco, where stylized anatomy, flowing lines, and balanced proportions were commonly used in automotive ornament design. Hoffmann’s sculptural approach shows clear inspiration from the work of René Lalique, particularly in the refined modeling, rhythmic contours, and carefully treated surfaces, while maintaining a distinctly Bohemian character.

Made of clear glass with a subtle matte finish, this piece emphasizes purity of form and sculptural clarity. It is mounted on an integral black glass base, which provides contrast, stability, and visual emphasis. Today, it is appreciated as an elegant Art Deco decorative object suitable for display in an interior setting.
