Description
**First Time At Auction**
Western Europe, World War I era. An elegant example of trench art, this brass artillery shell was transformed from a weapon into commemorative flower vase by a soldier who undoubtedly spent endless hours, even days, deep in the muddy trenches. The upper section was hand-hammered and embossed with a leafy vine motif over a stippled ground to create a beautiful effect, and there is additional stippling on the lower end to coordinate with this. Size: 2.5" W x 9.375" H (6.4 cm x 23.8 cm)
Provenance: ex-Dr. David Harner collection, Arkansas, USA, 1950s to 1960s
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
