  • Antique 1910s WWI Trench Art Artillery Shell

    150.00

    Antique 1915 WWI trench art shell

    This remarkable artillery shell casing dates back to the First World War and stands as a powerful symbol of its ultimate outcome. Like many soldiers who sought distraction from the monotony and horrors of trench life, this casing was most likely hand-engraved by a French soldier. The scene depicts a triumphant fighting rooster — the national emblem of France — standing victorious over a German helmet. An oak branch and the years 1914–1919 complete the symbolic composition.

    The artwork was created on an original British artillery shell casing, still clearly marked on the base with “DEC – 1915,” confirming its wartime origin.

    To cope with the relentless stress and boredom of trench warfare, soldiers often turned to creativity, transforming the remnants of battle into expressive works of art. Today known as trench art, these handmade objects were crafted from spent shell casings, bullets, and other military materials. With only rudimentary tools at their disposal, soldiers relied on ingenuity, giving each piece a raw, deeply human, and authentic character.

    This unique artifact carries a compelling historical narrative and would make a striking centerpiece in any World War I or military collection.

    Despite being over a century old, the shell remains in good condition. Over time it has developed a rich oxidized patina that enhances its historic charm. The surface has been carefully treated with antique wax to preserve it and provide a subtle protective sheen.
