This set of Antique French Plates depict the death and funeral activities for Napoleon. Black transfer printed plates have scenes of important Napoleonic locations in the surround (Arcole, Toulon, the Pyramids, Waterloo, Montereau, and Isle of Elba).  Also in the surround is the Arc D'Triumphe, the funerary barque, and eagles clutching sabers.  

Plates in number appearing on plates are:
1.   Tomb of Napoleon
2.   Around the Casket (*some brown discoloration on this plate on the perimeter)
3.   Embarkment of Napolean's Body (showing ships in full flag)*
4.   In the Chapel  (Religous oversight of the flag covered casket)
5.   Taking Napolean's Body off the Boat 
6.   Funeral procession*
7.   Catafalque Boat*

All plates are in good condition, except for some dark discoloration where noted on a plate by plate base by an * asterisk.

The plates show the original purchase price of $100 per plate from a Dallas antique store.  

Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. 

Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles.  On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views.

I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description.  The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase.

Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
