A vintage Jaguar leaping cat bonnet mascot, produced by Wilmot Breeden for Jaguar Cars, and stamped to the underside 7/10091/1 WBB. This is a well-known factory reference number associated with mid-20th-century Jaguar mascots supplied to the marque during its most iconic period.
The chrome-plated leaping jaguar is crisply modelled, showing strong definition to the head, limbs and tail, and is mounted on a solid black marble plinth. The combination of sculptural quality, authentic manufacturer stamping and marble base makes this a desirable display piece for collectors of Jaguar automobilia and British motoring history.
This example is well suited for desk, shelf or cabinet display and retains its original felt underside to the base.
