Magnificent pair of carved shell casings from the folk art of the trenches dating from the First World War (1914/1918). In the trenches or at the back, to pass the time before returning to battle, the inactive, wounded or maimed “Poilus” created many everyday items from shell casings or materials recovered on the battlefield. These items are a testimony to the dexterity of their creators who were, in civilian life, skilled workers or craftsmen, or even skilled farmers. They are in a very good aesthetic condition, no major deformations, very lovely floral design, with the inscription "souvenir de Reims". Reims is a city in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France, it is located in the same region as Verdun, famous for its battle on 21 February 1916. The casings will regain their optimal sheen with proper cleaning. Size: Calibre: 75 / 7.5 cm in diameter 34 cm in height Weight: 2.600 kg for both, being 1.300 kg each. Many inscriptions under the casings authenticate the origin. The two casings were manufactured in 1917.

Good luck at auction.
