Clock Encased Fuse Howitzer Mounted Resting Trench Base


EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing trench art piece showcases a beautifully preserved A Smiths H823 clock, encased within the hollowed-out interior of a German 77 mm. shellcase. The clock, with its distinctive white face and black Roman numerals, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers during the First World War. The shellcase, once a deadly projectile used in the conflict, has been repurposed as a protective casing for the clock. Mounted on the base of the shellcase is an AEG 15 HZ 14 fuse, adding an authentic military touch to the piece. The fuse, with its intricate wiring and delicate components, contrasts starkly with the rugged exterior of the shellcase, creating a unique juxtaposition. The clock rests atop a German Howitzer shellcase base, further emphasizing the military origins of the artwork. The base, with its intricate engravings and weathered patina, adds a sense of history and provenance to the piece. Trench art, such as this clock, was created by soldiers during their downtime in the trenches. These pieces served as reminders of home and the passage of time amidst the chaos and hardships of war. This particular piece is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of soldiers during the First World War, as well as a reminder of the historical significance of the conflict. The intricate details of the clock's face and hands, the intricacies of the fuse, and the weathered exterior of the shellcase all come together to create a visually stunning and historically significant piece. This A Smiths H823 clock encased in a German 77 mm. shellcase is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a reminder of the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and resilience of soldiers during the First World War.
