Standing 12 inches tall, each figure is beautifully hand-painted with a vibrant, high-gloss glaze that brings their historical uniforms to life. Made in Italy, this trio features two distinguished infantrymen/guards flanking a central officer figure (incised "NEY" on the underside, a nod to Napoleon’s famous Marshal Ney). Elevated on ornate, gold-trimmed octagonal plinths featuring Napoleon’s iconic imperial "N" encircled by a laurel wreath.

The Central Officer: Dressed in an exquisite rose-pink and white uniform with a flowing deep-crimson cape, high black boots, and an ornate plumed bicorne hat.
The Flanking Soldiers: One soldier stands at attention in a classic hunter-green and scarlet coat with a molded brown backpack and rifle. The other is clad in a dark charcoal-grey and white winter coat with a red-lined bicorne hat, also holding a rifle.

The reverse of each base features beautifully gilded crossed swords, adding an extra touch of sophistication when viewed from any angle. See less
