Original U.S. or British WWI Mounted Brass Trench Art “Key Hanger” - Monogrammed

Item Description

Original Items: Only One Lot 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 really interesting trench art piece meant to be hung on the wall, to hold either keys or something else. The apparatus is uniquely shaped to hold something, but we just aren’t sure what that something is. Measures 9 x 6½ x ¾”. It is monogrammed on the front with what appears to be E.J.E. Comes ready for further research and display.
