About the Item

Set of historical metal figurines produced by the Manufacture Historique de Soldats de Plomb (MHSP), depicting the famous scene of the presentation of captured enemy flags following the French victory at Austerlitz. The diorama shows Napoleon Bonaparte surrounded by his officers and soldiers as he receives the captured standards brought by Jean Rapp, one of his most loyal aides-de-camp. This scene commemorates one of the symbolic moments following the French victory at the Battle of Austerlitz on December 2, 1805, often regarded as Napoleon’s greatest military triumph. After the battle, numerous flags and standards captured from the Russian and Austrian armies were presented to the Emperor as trophies of war. The scene represented here illustrates this solemn moment when soldiers and officers of the Grande Armée bring these captured banners before their sovereign. This set consists of several metal figurines representing officers, cavalrymen, and infantrymen of the First French Empire, including Napoleon on horseback surrounded by members of his staff and soldiers carrying captured flags. The figures are finely cast with many details visible in the uniforms, military equipment, and horse harnesses. The entire scene is mounted on a wooden base covered with red felt, creating an elegant display that highlights this historical composition. This diorama is a fine collectible piece for enthusiasts of historical figurines and admirers of the Napoleonic era.

A group of ten hand carved and painted wooden Napoleonic soldier figures c 1930

Located in Central England, GB

This very rare group of French Napoleonic period soldiers are completely handmade. They have each been finely carved in wood and then hand painted with great detail. Each soldier is portrayed in a different position wearing a full uniform with a backpack, sword and rifle. I have never seen anything remotely similar. This type of model is usually made from cast metal as a production figure and not as an individual one off carved sculpture. These rare figures must have taken many hours of work to produce each one. Together they form a very decorative group which would be a good addition to any military...
