Antique WWI Brass Trench Art Crucifix, Dated 1914
€125.00
Antique WWI trench art crucifix, dated 1914

This remarkable crucifix dates from the First World War and was crafted from spent bullets and shell casings. It stands as a poignant reminder of the conflict and reflects the personal expressions that emerged from the hardships of war.

At the top there is a small brass plaque engraved with ‘1914’ & ‘INRI’: Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews). The bottom is decorated with a skull and crossbones.

To cope with the relentless stress and monotony of trench warfare, soldiers often turned to creativity, transforming remnants of the battlefield into expressive handmade objects. Today known as trench art, these pieces were fashioned from discarded military materials such as shell casings, bullets, and other metal fragments. Working with only simple tools, soldiers relied on ingenuity and patience, giving each object a raw and deeply human character.

This unique artifact carries a strong historical presence and would make a striking addition to a World War I or military collection.

Antique 19th-Century Great Western Railway Wrought Iron Monogram
€275.00
Antique 19th-Century Great Western Railway Wrought Iron Monogram

This distinctive wrought iron monogram bears the initials G.W.R., representing the Great Western Railway, one of Britain’s most celebrated historic railway companies. Believed to date from around the mid-19th century, the piece is a striking example of early railway-related ironwork.

Founded in 1833, the Great Western Railway connected London with the south-west and west of England, the Midlands and much of Wales. Engineered by the renowned Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the railway played an important role in the development of Britain’s railway network. Over time, it acquired affectionate nicknames such as “God’s Wonderful Railway” and “The Great Way Round”. It also became known as the “Holiday Line”, carrying generations of travellers to popular seaside resorts in the West Country and south-west Wales.

This monogram is said to have once adorned a platform structure at a Great Western Railway station. With its substantial wrought iron construction and timeworn appearance, it makes a remarkable piece of railway history and would be a fine addition to a collection of railway memorabilia or a distinctive feature in a rustic, industrial or traditional interior.

After more than a century, the monogram remains in worn antique condition, displaying a beautiful oxidised patina that enhances its rugged character. The original cream-coloured paint has cracked and weathered over time, creating an appealing, naturally aged surface. Please note that the tips on the right-hand side of both the “W” and the “G” are missing, as shown in the photographs.

The ironwork has been treated with a protective varnish to help seal the surface, reduce further oxidation and provide a subtle sheen.
