Vintage Composite Marble Bust of Napoleon Bonaparte as Caesar 20th Century

About the Item

A beautiful Anthony Redmile large white composite marble bust of Napoleon Bonaparte as Caesar, dating from the last quarter of the 20th century. Napoleon is shown with a laurel crown round his head, the bust is stamped AR to the reverse, and NAPOLÉON is inscribed below the bust. The attention to detail throughout the piece is second to none and the figure is extremely lifelike. This model is inspired after an example by Antoine-Denis Chaudet (French, 1763–1810), who, in 1799, carved the archetypal Napoleon Bonaparte portrait bust in marble. The Sevres porcelain factory then disseminated the image widely throughout the Empire, reproduced in a biscuit porcelain. There is a version with a laurel crown in the Louvre Museum, but Bonaparte is modelled wearing robes, unlike the example offered here. Provenance: House on Belgrave Square, London Condition: In excellent condition, please see photos for confirmation. Dimensions in cm: Height 62 cm x Width 32 cm x Depth 30 cm Weight 23.5 kg Dimensions in inches: Height 2 foot x Width 1 foot, 1 inch x Depth 1 foot Weight 51.8 lbs Napoleon Bonaparte Napoleon Bonaparte, later known by his regnal name Napoleon I, was a French emperor and military commander who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars. Belgrave Square Known to be one of the most prestigious addresses in the country, Belgrave Square has been famous since it’s development in the mid 19th century, commissioned by the 2nd Earl Grosvenor, late 1st Marquess of Westminster and contracted/built by Thomas Cubitt and George Basevi respectively. Whilst the majority of properties are now embassies or headquarters for international businesses or charities, very few remain as private houses, including this house which Bellmans have been instructed to sell the contents on behalf of the current owners.
