Regular price $195.00

Item Description

Original Items: Only One Lot of 4 Available. Trench art is any decorative item made by soldiers, prisoners of war, or civilians where the manufacture is directly linked to armed conflict or its consequences. It offers an insight not only to their feelings and emotions about the war, but also their surroundings and the materials they had available to them.

Not limited to the World Wars, the history of trench art spans conflicts from the Napoleonic Wars to the present day. Although the practice flourished during World War I, the term 'trench art' is also used to describe souvenirs manufactured by service personnel during World War II. Some items manufactured by soldiers, prisoners of war or civilians during earlier conflicts have been retrospectively described as trench art.

This is a great pair of candlesticks made from captured German artillery shells, both dated 1936. They measure 5” tall with a 3⅝” base diameter. They retain their patina and display gorgeously.

A great set of candlesticks to illuminate your collection! Ready for display.
