This object is an idealized portrait of the queen instead of the evocation of a sovereign at the height of her power. The head is slightly turned to the right; the shoulders are covered with a swath of fabric for a natural effect; she is wearing a crown decorated with a fleur-de-lis and a row of pearls. As one of the most famous and controversial women in French History, Marie-Antoinette was the object of many artistic representations. Many valuable pieces disappeared during the French Revolution. Fortunately, some copies have survived the upheavals of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of its collaboration with the Réunion des Musées Nationaux (The French National Museum Organization), Trudon presents reproductions in various colored waxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnscented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 10\" H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Ingredients: Vegetal Wax, Cotton Wick\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll home decor, fragrances, and accessories are considered final sale and may not be returned or exchanged.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trudon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41480315338811,"sku":"105099","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/4435\/2315\/files\/Trudon-Sep23-Websize_3.png?v=1762893217"},{"product_id":"napoleon-bust-empire","title":"Napoleon Bust | Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs soon as the Consulate period started, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) became aware of the importance of having his portrait shown to the French people. Thus, he initiated the edification of his own legend. All the supports were used, from sculptures to snuff boxes and fans. The multiplicity of objects bearing the effigy of the Emperor or representing imperial symbols constituted an extraordinary tool of propaganda for the Napoleonic legend. During the Restoration, however, Bonapartists were forced to hide and prepare their revenge, spreading more and more seditious objects. The Emperor’s death in 1821 made him less dangerous in the eyes of Royalists and copies representing his main actions once again multiplied. The Second Empire (1852) made the imperial legend official with commissions of sculptures installed in public squares and paintings exhibited in museums. Although the Second Empire reestablished the official propaganda, the fall of the regime in 1870 put an end to the celebration of Napoleon for 20 years. Nationalist fervor rose again in the 1890s and since then, he has not ceased to be a heroic figure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn collaboration with The Plaster Cast Workshop of the Rmn - Grand Palais.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 24 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll home decor, fragrances, and accessories are considered final sale and may not be returned or exchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trudon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41480343257147,"sku":"118067","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/4435\/2315\/files\/Trudon--Sep-23---Websize--9_3206fa62050f433db2e8b9a4af0cd0a9_268046.png?v=1762893224"},{"product_id":"louisxivcandle","title":"Louis XIV Bust | Stone","description":"Absolute authority: chin up, proud bust and a contemptuous attitude, the Sun King rules. Immortalized in a 7-meter high monumental sculpture by François Girardon (1699), the ‘Louis XIV à cheval’ took centre stage Place Vendôme before the statue was raised to the ground, in 1792, during the French revolution. Today a resident of the Musée du Louvre, the bust still stands tall, reproduced in a smaller scale.
