AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare pair of frames with the representations of Napoleon and Josephine.

Wooden frame, with convex glass; both the frames and the glass are in very good condition.

I think the figures are made of beeswax, and they are in generally good condition, showing tiny flaws and wear.

On the back there are two stickers from Portugal’s best auction house, Cabral e Moncada, which means that at some point in their lives they were auctioned at a prestigious house that only accepts high-quality pieces.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
