French vintage / antique Napoleon bust / statue of Napoleon in classic pose.
This is a delightful bust / statue of Napoleon the great French leader. This is made from plaster and would have been used as publicity for Courvoisier Cognac. The previous owner has removed and painted over the Courvoisier relief publicity on the front, probably to stop advertising of their product.
Courvoisier was famed for being the drink of Napoleon. Legend has it, that when Napoleon was exiled to St Helena after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, he was allowed to take with him several barrels of Courvoisier. The English soldiers on the boat allegedly dubbed it the 'Cognac of Napoleon' and the name has stayed with it.
A great piece for the fans of Napoleon. Please see my French Icons section for other Napoleon memorabilia.
Condition:
In very good vintage condition with no chips, or cracks. There is a deep patina of age all over the statue which gives the bust some sense of age. Please take a good look at the photos.
