Questions About Napoleonic Bee
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A Napoleonic bee is a decorative motif that Emperor Napoleon of France adopted as his symbol. It appears on furniture, decorative objects, jewelry and apparel that he commissioned during his life, and in pieces patterned after them. Prior to Napoleon appropriating the symbol, the bee represented the French Revolution. Find a collection of Napoleonic furniture and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
