In 1976 Liberace commissioned David John Mega to create what he termed a “Bicentennial Salute” utilizing his 1954 Silver Dawn drop top. The theme of course would be red, white and blue in the stars and stripes motif. Mega and Liberace agreed that thirteen stars to represent the original thirteen colonies were to be placed down both sides of the Rolls Royce and covered with rhinestones. Liberace further requested that the kneeling “Spirit of Ecstasy “ which graced his particular model be paved with the same Austrian crystal rhinestones that were  used in all his famous cape designs.

After completion of the automobile, which can still be viewed at the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas Nevada, Mega set about making an artwork using the standing “Spirit of Ecstasy” adorned with Swarovski Austrian crystals which he titled “ THE LADY OF LIGHT“.

"The Lady of Light"

From the original Liberace commission which used the “Kneeling Lady”, Mega went on to fashion a “Standing Lady” cast in German Silver, paved with over one thousand Swarovski Austrian crystals, and placed upon an original design crystal base. This revolving and lighted sculpture was showcased in another equally impressive work reminiscent of classic Edwardian motif and enhanced by inlays of Carpathian Elm burl and Zebra wood veneers.

A reproduction of this artwork is available by commission only and finished in color and appointment as to the client’s choice.
