About the Item

Elegant French Empire Bronze Relief of Napoleon I in Thuja Wood Frame A distinguished French Empire bronze relief plaque depicting Napoleon I crowned with the classical laurel wreath, symbol of triumph and imperial authority. Cast in the early 19th century, the medallion presents a crisp and noble profile, its refined modelling characteristic of Empire-era craftsmanship. The relief is set within a beautifully figured thuja wood frame, its warm, marbled surface offering a striking contrast to the dark patinated bronze. The circular recess and subtle metal ring further elevate the presentation, lending the piece a sense of sculptural depth and ceremony. An elegant and historically resonant object, perfectly suited for collectors of Napoleonic art, classical portraiture, or Empire-period decorative arts. Its compact scale and rich materials make it a refined accent in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Wear consistent with age and use.
