Item Details
Description
A great ivory bust of Napoleon. The elephant ivory handle is 2 1/2" high and 1 1/3" at its widest. It depicts a marvelously detailed small bust of Napoleon Bonaparte, the famous French Emperor. He is clad in his tri-cornered hat and his formal military coat, with his medals and fancy shoulder braids. It is skillfully fashioned. There is a 3/4" silver collar with a blossom on a black hardwood shaft with small round ivory eyelets. It terminates with a 2 1/2" white metal and iron ferrule. The overall length is 37" and the condition is very good. It is perhaps French, ca 1890's, and it may have been made to celebrate the 75th anniversary of his death in 1821. It is a very fine example. Estimate: $1200-$1800.
