This excellent desk-top or shelf sculpture is for the aficionado of French history and culture and famous figures of world renown. The casting of the emperor is crisp and the brown patina over the bronze base creates a dark and mellow amber color. Napoleon is depicted in his usual military dress with medals on his jacket and another one on his heavy overcoat. The bust sits on a book, which itself sits on a round black marble base. This sculpture looks great on a shelf or among books, or as a decorative accent in any room. It is also appropriate for a desk-top ornament or a paper weight. It is a perfect gift for the collector.
