Lovely golden bee in a matte gold-finish charmingly accented with dotted wings and eyes dangles from a delicate chain. Matching Styles Available. Background History: When Napoleon Bonaparte took up residence in the Royal Palace at Tuileries he refused to spend money on new decor. However, he could not allow the drapery - with its embroidered fleur-de-lis (the French Royal emblem) - to continue to hang in the windows of the palace. His solution was to have the rich and elegant drapes turned upside down. The inverted symbol of the overthrown monarchy looked like a bee. From then on, the tenacious bee became the emblem of Napoleon Bonaparte. From our Licensed Reproduction Collection. Includes Deluxe Box and History Card to make the ideal gift.
