"Imperial Eagle Of The Veterans Of The French Empire – Antwerp – Bonapartist Silver Badge"
A striking evocation of Napoleonic aesthetics, this crowned imperial eagle from the Antwerp Veterans of the Empire reflects the enduring presence of the imperial symbol in Bonapartist circles at the end of the 19th century. Crafted in silver with a deliberately sculptural form, it transcends its function as a mere insignia to become a true memorial emblem, at the crossroads of history and Napoleonic myth. Belgium, Antwerp – late 19th/early 20th century. Total height: 10 cm – Eagle: 5 cm
