Very pretty gilded bronze sculpture, representing the bust of an officer of the Empire with shoulder pads adorned with the imperial crown and the Medal of the Order of the Holy Spirit on the chest of XIXth century.
This bust is in good condition. It has its base in velvet (worn).
A report: it will be clean, wear time, see photos.
