This large French Empire bronze sculpture depicts Napoleon Bonaparte in a bicorne hat mounted on a rearing horse, set upon a rectangular green marble plinth. The dark brown equestrian figure exhibits muscular definition on the horse and a flowing jacket on the rider. Visible details include round metal feet supporting the heavy plinth, moulded edges on the stone base, and an outstretched arm gesture. The sculpture measures 66 cm high, 56 cm wide, and 25 cm deep. Suitable for display in a gentleman's library or on a study sideboard top, the piece serves as a striking decorative focal point. The dark bronze and green stone combination integrates easily into traditional interiors, complementing period desks, shelving units, or large sideboards.

FAQs

Equestrian bronzes of this era depict military commanders or political leaders mounted on horses, frequently executed in the Neoclassical or Empire styles to convey authority and historical narrative.

These sculptures were cast in bronze using either lost-wax or sand-casting processes, hand-chased for surface detail, and mounted on heavy carved marble or granite bases.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased surface details, age-appropriate patination rather than modern painted finishes, accurate weight, and classic foundry marks or artist signatures near the base.

Sculptures of this nature function as prominent focal points when positioned on sideboards, mantelpieces, or large executive desks, providing architectural structure to a room.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply clear microcrystalline wax annually to preserve the patinated metal, ensuring chemical solvents are avoided.
