Antique 19th C Sulphide Cameo Glass Paperweight Military Portrait Bust Napoleon

A charming antique sulphide cameo glass paperweight, featuring a finely detailed white relief portrait bust encased within a clear glass dome.

The bust depicts a distinguished military or statesman figure in profile, shown wearing a high-collared uniform with decorative collar detail and epaulettes. The inset cameo has a classical sculptural quality, 19th-century European commemorative appeal.

The clear glass body has a rounded domed form with age-related surface wear, light scratches and minor flea bite to back edge, consistent with age and handling. The internal sulphide bust remains attractive and well defined.

A decorative and collectable antique paperweight, ideal for collectors of sulphide glass, military portrait pieces, Napoleonic memorabilia, or Victorian desk objects.

Approx measurements: 63.5mm wide x 10mm.
