About the Item

Empire Ormolu Portrait Sculpture of Napoleon Bonaparte, Circa 1875 Presenting a distinguished Empire Ormolu Portrait Sculpture of Napoleon Bonaparte, dating to circa 1875. Standing at 9.5 inches high and measuring 3 inches square at the base, this finely crafted sculpture captures the commanding presence of the legendary French leader. Cast in rich ormolu (gilded bronze), the figure portrays Napoleon in his iconic military uniform and bicorne hat, with arms crossed in a contemplative pose—an enduring symbol of power and strategic brilliance. Notably, Napoleon is depicted standing next to a cannon in a landscape setting, evoking his role as a military strategist and commander. The sculpture is mounted on a square plinth, adorned with detailed gilt imperial eagle motifs—an emblem of the Napoleonic Empire—further enhancing its regal appearance. The contrasting dark base with gilt accents provides a striking foundation, emphasizing the opulence and grandeur characteristic of the Empire style. This piece is an exceptional example of 19th-century decorative art, perfect for collectors of Napoleonic memorabilia, Empire furnishings, or historical sculptures. It makes a sophisticated statement on a desk, bookshelf, or display cabinet, offering timeless elegance and historical significance. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this remarkable sculpture, a testament to Napoleon’s enduring legacy and the refined artistry of the Empire period.
