Napoleon – Vintage Wooden Bottle Holder from the 60s/70s

The allure of Napoleon stems from a clever visual trick. The vertical figure appears to be a popular hand-painted sculpture, but the object's true function only emerges when the body is lifted to reveal the hidden bottle holder inside.

The historical subject is interpreted in a style far removed from official portraiture: the proportions, expression, and color are more akin to European decorative craftsmanship of the second half of the twentieth century. It is precisely this contrast between the solemn character and the convivial function that makes the object so interesting.

Standing 48 centimeters tall, it can be displayed next to a bar cabinet, on a sideboard, or as part of a collection of vintage items. Its hidden function gains value, especially when not immediately obvious.

Use and Care

Open and close the bottle holder without forcing the moving parts. Do not wet the wood and clean exclusively with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid detergents, harsh waxes, and heat sources.

The Charm of Handmade and Time

The painting, the irregularities of the carving, and the patina developed over the years are integral parts of the object. Napoleon does not merely replicate a vintage aesthetic today: it is a genuine period piece that retains the traces of its own history.
