Charles Robinson Sykes - 'Silence and Speed' radiator or desk-piece mascot c1909, believed to be an important and exceedingly rare design for a motor car radiator adornment, the original of which was commissioned from Charles Sykes by John (Walter) 2nd Baron Montague for his 1909 Rolls-Royce Ghost motor car, created in heavy silver-plated bronze by the cire-perdue casting process, and display mounted upon an ebonised wood plinth base. History: It has been understood and long-believed that the original of this statuette was commissioned by John Montague specifically for his personal Rolls-Royce motorcar, at a time when there was no definitive mascot for the Marque but when after market radiator embellishments were proliferating due to an increasing current trend for such adornments. It is a further popular conception that the model for this sculpture design was Eleanor Velasco Thornton, who during this time was secretary to John Montagu and with whom was having a clandestine romantic involvement as his mistress. Thus created, this was the draped female figure in flowing robes with forefinger to her lips emblematic of this liaison. Approximately two years later it is presumed that she was again the model chosen by Charles Sykes for his subject, who posed for the ultimate design selected by Rolls-Royce now known universally as the 'Winged Lady' mascot, which bears much similarity in essence to its earlier counterpart, and is now renowned and recognised world wide. Provenance: Over many years it has been understood that perhaps four or five original examples of 'The Whisper' mascot (as it had become known outside the Montagu circle) were in existence; accompanying this lot is a comprehensive file of documentation and historical provenance, which it is hoped clarifies the origins of the design, numbers made, and their subsequent ownership. It includes published articles, photographs (including one showing all then-known originals together), letters and correspondence from leading authoritative authors and owners including the Late Lord Edward Montagu, Jo Sykes the daughter of Charles Sykes, Dr Douglas Latto, the late Peter Baines of the RREC, Paul Tritton, Mrs Scheerman, and Tony Gosnell inter alia; and further includes correspondence between the vendor and many of these leading experts, including that relating to his purchase of the mascot from Dr Latto. There is also an invoice/receipt from Aspreys the Crown Jewellers for 'cleaning and polishing a silver-plated mascot' (the aforementioned) and manufacturing a replacement plinth base replacement for the original which was damaged dated 1994.
