Art Deco Longchamp Hood Ornament Uranium Glass with Black Glass Base — 1930s H. Hoffmann

Product detailed description

This Art Deco Longchamp hood ornament was created as an automotive car mascot using original molds designed by H. Hoffmann around 1930. It reflects a period when sculptural hood ornaments were an essential element of luxury automobile identity and visual prestige.

The Longchamp name refers to the famous Paris racecourse and became closely associated with speed, elegance, and horse racing culture. The sculptural form depicts a stylized horse head, modeled in a refined and aerodynamic manner characteristic of French Art Deco automotive ornament design. Hoffmann’s sculptural approach shows inspiration from the work of René Lalique, particularly in the smooth contours, flowing lines, and balanced geometry, while remaining distinctly Bohemian in execution.

Made of yellow uranium glass, the hood ornament exhibits a strong green glow under UV light, confirming its uranium glass composition. This example is mounted on a black glass base, which enhances both presentation and stability. It is a hood ornament car mascot and a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of Art Deco design, uranium glass, and historic automotive accessories.
