An Exquisite French Silver and Malachite Bust of Napoleon, By Emile Pinedo
This exquisite French silver and malachite bust of Napoleon, masterfully crafted by the esteemed sculptor Emile Pinedo, is a testament to both artistic and historical grandeur. A work of remarkable refinement, it captures the Emperor’s commanding presence while embodying the opulence of 19th-century French decorative arts.
The bust itself is cast in fine French silver, its luminous surface sculpted with precision to render Napoleon’s distinctive features—his strong brow, aquiline nose, and resolute gaze—all hallmarks of his legendary visage. The silver is richly contrasted by a striking malachite base, its deep green hues swirling with natural veining, adding an element of regal sophistication. The base bears the elegantly inscribed initial "N," a subtle yet powerful nod to Napoleon’s enduring legacy.
Signed by Emile Pinedo, one of France’s most accomplished sculptors known for his meticulous attention to detail, this piece is an exemplar of the Maison Pinedo workshop's artistry. The French silver hallmarks further authenticate its noble pedigree, ensuring its place among the finest decorative objets d'art of its time.
This rare and distinguished bust is not merely a tribute to the great French Emperor but also a superb collector’s piece, seamlessly blending the artistry of fine silverwork with the natural splendor of malachite. A true connoisseur’s delight, it would make an exceptional addition to any collection of historical sculptures, Napoleonica, or fine French silver.
A timeless embodiment of power and refinement, this silver and malachite bust by Pinedo stands as a distinguished tribute to Napoleon’s enduring influence.
