Up for auction is an Antique Spelter-Bronze Napoleon statuette that dates back to the start of the 20th Century. This extremely rare piece belonged to my Great-grandfather who obtained it during the early 1900's and passed it on to my Grandfather who later passed it down to me.

The statuette is made of metal (spelter/bronze) and considering that it's over 100 years old, it is still in fairly good condition. Some scuffs and fading/discoloration are evident, common with age. 

At the base of the statuette, on the frontside, a somewhat legible engraving displays the word "Calais". The name refers to a town and major ferry port in Northern France and a staging area for Napoleon's troops for several months in 1805 during his planned invasion of the United Kingdom. On the backside of the base is another engraving that reads "France". 

This statuette portrays the French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, in a quintessential pose of the legendary leader in full military attire as a general and stands 4 inches in height. 

An extremely rare and unique addition to any collection for history buffs and Napoleon enthusiasts!
