Artist: Non Signé

This cast-iron bust of Napoleon—then a general—is a beautiful curiosity, displayed on an almond-shaped “drum” base made of sermentine, decorated with gilded bronze stars and encircled by chiseled bronze elements. This charming and unusual depiction of the future Emperor, cast in period-appropriate cast iron, reflects the fascination with a man who will forever leave his mark on French history. This understated tribute is a “curiosity” of rare interest, full of power and highly decorative. In very good condition and highly decorative, this “curiosity” from the period serves as a lasting reminder of this remarkable figure.
