Art Deco Nude Female Hood Ornament Malachite Glass — 1930s H. Hoffmann

Product detailed description

This hood ornament was produced in Bohemia from original period molds created by H. Hoffmann around 1930. This sculptural Nude Female hood ornament represents the Art Deco period, when automotive mascots expressed idealized beauty, balance, and modern elegance. The female figure is modeled with smooth, flowing lines and carefully balanced proportions, reflecting the aesthetic principles that defined European decorative arts in the interwar years.

The nude female motif belongs to a broader tradition of figurative Art Deco car mascots influenced by French sculptural design, particularly the work of René Lalique. Hoffmann’s interpretation emphasizes refined modeling and harmonious form while remaining firmly rooted in Bohemian glassmaking tradition.

Made of malachite glass, this example displays the characteristic opaque appearance associated with this material. Today it is highly sought after by collectors as a sculptural Art Deco car mascot and a distinctive example of Bohemian decorative glass.
