Introduced August 1925, this was either the first Ren\u00e9 Lalique Mascot or one of the first three. It was commissioned by Andr\u00e9 Citro\u00ebn, the famous French car manufacturer, especially for the Citro\u00ebn 5CV model which in a strange and amazing coincidence had <strong>5<\/strong> &#8220;<strong>C<\/strong>hevaux <strong>V<\/strong>apeur&#8221;, that is to say, 5 French Horsepower (though chevaux vapeur actually translates into &#8220;steam horses&#8221;)! Interestingly, one French Horsepower (CV) is equal to more than one British Horsepower (BHP) but we will leave this fact to the respective countrymen involved to discern or not, any special meaning. Note that Bonhams also was adding 7.2% (in the catalogue they say 7.2% of the &#8220;import value&#8221;) to the final price. Assuming this would be computed on the all-in sale price, in this case there is in extra couple thousand dollars added to the buyer&#8217;s cost, edging the actual price close to $36,000!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/chrysis-lalique-car-mascot.jpg\" alt=\"Rene Lalique Mascot Chrysis\" title=\"Rene Lalique Car Mascot: Chrysis\" \/>Next high seller was the good looking Opalescent Rene Lalique Mascot Vitesse, with an all-in price of $31,720.
