Bronze 'Skull' Radiator Mascot by Emile Brégeon

About the Item

Emile Brégeon (French, active 1890-1930) A large, specialty ‘Doctor’s’ car mascot in patinated bronze, the heavy-cast skull and crossbones with original patina, would have been mounted on a car radiator, now set on a swept, oak base ready to be displayed on a desk or table. The symbol of the skull has no shortage of cultural and artistic connotations. Skull imagery featured in pieces presented to doctors by their grateful patients, following a recovery from illness – examples include pocket watches, cane handles and paperweights. Stamped BREGEON.
