Napoleon Bonaparte Sterling Silver, 24K Gold, Enamel & Lapis Lazuli Paper Holder

“Napoleon I” is a sculptural luxury paper holder created within the Konforti family atelier, transforming the figure of Napoleon Bonaparte into a functional collectible objet d’art.

His sculpted figure is executed in sterling silver with contrasting 24K yellow gold gilt, deep tarnished surfaces, and vivid blue hot enamel detailing. The figure rises above an elaborate architectural base decorated with classical gilt ornamentation and transparent blue guilloché hot enamel. Natural lapis lazuli gemstones are set into the upper section, while the lower base is individually carved from natural lapis lazuli, creating a rich contrast between deep blue stone, enamel, silver, and gold.

Overall Height: Approximately 14 cm (5.5 in).

Conceived for a desk, library, study, executive interior, or private collection, the piece combines traditional precious-metal sculpture with the function of an exceptional luxury desk accessory.

The "Napoleon I Vs. Alexander I" chess set shown is the original work from which this sculptural pen holder is derived and is presented for reference and artistic context only. The chess set is not included.
