Description: 19thc. FRENCH Embossed Brass & Glass NAPOLEON BONAPARTE Carnation Ormolu Frame Click images to enlarge Description ANTIQUE FRAMED ART OF NAPOLEON Wonderful antique framed image of Napoleon Bonaparte in uniform measuring 7" tall by 4-1/2" wide - actual art is about 4-1/2" tall by 3" wide. Featuring a tiered, ornate frame with embossed garland bow crest, frame front edge is accented with an engraved brass border which carries around all four sides - background is black glass, and a smaller frame housing the artwork is floated on top, edges are accented with ormolu Carnation flowers. Back is solid brass with fold down brass clips to hold image in place - complete with original ring for display. I was afraid to bend the clips to access the image - I cannot tell if this is a hand accented charcoal over print, a drawing, or an old print - his face is beautiful finished, with the detail fading as it reaches the uniform to give the impression the artwork was never completed - it is not signed. French in origin, dating 19thc. or earlier, condition is lovely with no chips, cracks, hairlines, repairs or damage to the frame - there is darkening around the flower mounts and on the brass frame edges and points from age - the image appears to have a line of light tanning or possibly a very faint water stain across the very bottom - difficult to see without a magnifier and does not detract a bit. Recently acquired from the estate of an avid Napoleon collector, and orginally purchaesd in France, it is an interesting and unusual piece - lovely addition to any collection or display!
