Hand-carved from a single block of dark, richly patinated wood, this brooding little Napoleon stands to attention in his unmistakable bicorne hat, epaulettes and buttoned frock coat, every chisel mark telling its own story. He is all gravitas and furrowed brow, the very picture of an Emperor caught mid-strategy, until you discover his secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is no ordinary figure. Our stern Bonaparte is a \"bottle guardian\", a novelty cover designed to slip over a bottle and keep watch over your finest spirits. A clever magnetic closure lets him lift away to reveal what he has been guarding all along. It is the sort of conversation piece that earns a double-take and a grin every single time, equal parts sculpture and party trick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis little Emperor adores good company.
