The 'Whisper' mascot was produced after John Walter Edward Scott-Montague, the second Lord Montague of Beaulieu, commissioned his friend Charles Sykes to sculpt a personal mascot for the bonnet of his Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost; Sykes chose Eleanor Thornton as his model, her being the secret love & secretary of Lord Montague. Sykes set about crafting the figurine of her in fluttering robes, pressing a finger against her lips, symbolising the secrets of their love. The figurine was consequently christened The Whisper & was reputedly optionally fitted to other 40-50HP Silver Ghost cars of the c1911 - 1914 period. This example, offered in very good condition, features silver plating over the bronze base metal (some tarnishing), with Charles Sykes signature. Display base mounted.
ASSORTED COLLECTABLES comprising a heavy horse harness bell terret, with a plain swinger above a pyramid arrangement of three bells, now mounted to an oak base, 25cm high overall; a Jacob & Co. biscuit tin, 'Jacobean Log Box', circa 1929, 19cm wide; eleven Wade Whimsies; and a similar German animal figurine.
