Relief Of Napoleon I, Signed By Ch. Desvergnes

Decorative circular relief depicting Napoleon I in profile, accompanied by the imperial eagle.

The composition is rendered in high relief, with the portrait of Napoleon in uniform and bicorne hat placed in front of the imperial eagle’s outspread wings and head. The piece has a striking decorative and historical presence, in the spirit of early 20th-century Napoleonic commemorative objects.

The piece is signed in the lower right corner Ch. Desvergnes, likely referring to Charles Jean Cléophas Desvergnes (1860–1928), a French sculptor.

Beautiful antique patina in a gilded bronze tone. Slightly undulating circular shape, suitable for display as a wall plaque or decorative plate.

In good overall condition, with patina, signs of age, and slight surface marks consistent with the piece’s age.
