Indulge in the captivating grandeur of Napoleon Bonaparte's era with this extraordinary set of Napoleon miniature recreations. This collection features two iconic pieces associated with the legendary emperor and his esteemed family.

The Crown of Napoleon Bonaparte, known as "The Honours of Charlemagne," holds a significant place in history. To distance himself from the deposed monarchy, Napoleon chose to be crowned with a wreath on 18th May 1804. However, to evoke a sense of ancient lineage, he commissioned a set of crown jewels. This crown, adorned with ancient precious cameos and intaglios, was present at his coronation, symbolising his connection to past rulers.

The Tiara of Empress Josephine, Napoleon's first wife, is a testament to elegance and refined taste. Crafted exclusively for Empress Josephine and later bequeathed to her daughter Hortense, this tiara is a dazzling display of opulence. Set with 1040 diamonds mounted on lustrous yellow gold, it radiates grace and splendour.

Meticulously crafted, the miniature Crown of Napoleon Bonaparte is gold plated, while the Tiara of Empress Josephine is highly polished. Each piece is cast in fine English pewter, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. Adorned with exquisite bohemian crystals, they add a touch of brilliance to their already captivating designs.

Enclosed within a presentation box, this set invites you to immerse yourself in the legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte and his esteemed family. Whether you're a collector of historical artefacts or an admirer of regal beauty, these miniature recreations offer a cherished glimpse into the magnificence of the Napoleonic era.

Experience the allure of ancient lineage and the refined elegance of Empress Josephine with this remarkable collection.
