French Bee Wine Glasses | Set of 4

$77.00
Description

This iconic wine glass collection is adorned with the historic French symbol of the bee that once graced royal fabrics, drapes, rugs and furniture. 

Napoleon Bonaparte chose the bee as his personal emblem and symbol of his status as Emperor to represent many things, including:

  • Sweetness and benevolence: The bee produces honey, which symbolizes sweetness and benevolence.
  • Hard work: The bee's industrious habits symbolize hard work, diligence, and orderliness.
  • Connection to the earliest French monarchs: Napoleon chose the bee to replace the fleur-de-lys of the deposed French Bourbon royal family and to link his new royal house to the earliest French monarchs.

SET OF 4  - New photos coming soon. This offering is for a set of four wine glasses only.
