About the Item

Unusual and finely cast toothpick holder in brass, depicting Napoleon Bonaparte alongside a cannon, with a heraldic emblem applied to the front. The object reflects the strong 19th-century French fascination with Napoleonic symbolism and imperial imagery, expressed here in a small but highly sculptural utilitarian form. The piece is punched/marked “Leroix”, indicating the maker. Executed in solid brass, it shows careful modeling of the figure and military attributes, combining functional purpose with commemorative intent. Such desk or table objects were popular in mid-19th-century France, often celebrating historical figures and national identity. The surface displays a naturally developed patina, with wear consistent with age and use, enhancing the depth and definition of the cast details.
