Marshals, Generals, officers and soldiers are brought together in a collection rich of almost 300 pewter figurines. The average size of the figurines is 12,5cm.
22 hours, the camp of Austerlitz, the Emperor prepares History.... The page takes care of the evening meal. Napoleon studies a map brought by a geographer with the Head of Staff officers Berthier. An aide-de-camp writes orders under the dictation of an aide-de-camp while an official dispatch is presented to him. Two grenadiers of the Guard are on guard, weapon at hand. The Captain Tascher of Pagerie receives an urgent fold of a estafette Grand Etat Major. The footmen prepare the dining table and take the crockery out of the intendance trunks, helped by mamelouck Roustan. A service man holds the horse of the Emperor, a superb white horse named "the Intendant", but that the stablemen called "Coconut". An officer runs to transmit an official mail in its red leather morocco. Also, Les Etains du Prince hope to make you revive moments of the épopée.

The figurine

From a technical point of view, the realization of a new subject requires much research in order to gather an important documentation.

Once done, the sculptor works out a subject in modelling clay which requires for this scale an infinite delicacy and a rigorous detail.

After many operations one finally obtains the rubber mould which will receive pewter in fusion. Manual sandpapering, sanding, chiselling will give to the figurine thus born, its unequalled patina which gives this so particular charm to creations of Etains du Prince.
