Discover a piece of history reimagined in the captivating Malmaison Chemin des Dames 1917 French Trench Art Shell Vase - 24cm Brass. This remarkable handcrafted vase has been transformed from a spent brass artillery shell casing dating back to the World War I era, around 1917. Standing at an impressive height of 24 cm and with a width of 9 cm, this vase is more than a mere artifact; it’s a storyteller of its time.
The vase’s cylindrical form showcases a stunning repoussé floral and text decoration, with intricate details that sing songs of valor and remembrance. The vase proudly boasts the inscription 'Malmaison Chemin des Dames 1917', commemorating the legendary battle of La Malmaison. Paying further homage, a French Croix de Guerre medal motif adorns the front, a tribute to bravery and resilience.
This brass beauty, likely of French origin, bears witness to its storied past, with surface wear, a rich patina, and minor dents typical of its age and handcrafted nature, granting it character. On the bottom, you’ll find engravings, though partially legible, hinting at a world long gone — the mysterious "AUX" whispering secrets of its journey.
Invite intrigue and history into your home with this singular piece of trench art, a true testament to craftsmanship in conflict times. Add this stunning vessel to your collection and let it become a conversation starter and a daily reminder of the echoes of the past.
