CHARLES ROBINSON SYKES (British 1875-1950) Winged Lady, (inspired by the Rolls Royce "Spirit Of Ecstasy") Bronze; signed 39.5cm tall; 14.5cm wide at base Note : Charles Robinson Sykes was an English sculptor best known for designing the Spirit of Ecstasy mascot which is used on Rolls-Royce cars. The Spirit of Ecstasy-also called "Emily"; "Silver Lady" or "Flying Lady"-was designed by Charles Robinson Sykes and carries with it a story about a secret passion between John Walter Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu (Second Lord Montagu of Beaulieu after 1905-a pioneer of the automobile movement-and Editor of The Car magazine from 1902) and his secret love for the model Sykes used for the emblem Eleanor Velasco Thornton. The story does not have a happy ending however. In 1915 Eleanor and Montagu were sailing back to India through the Mediterranean on the SS Persia when it was torpedoed by a U-boat. Eleanor was drowned. Montagu was devastated but could not publicly mourn her death. They had a daughter together but she was fostered and Montagu was only ever known to her as "uncle".
