Archway Commemorative Craft Menin Metalwork Souvenir Ware Ypres Base
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative souvenir of Ypres, featuring the Menin Gate Memorial, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. The Menin Gate, located in the Belgian city of Ypres, is a war memorial dedicated to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient between 1914 and 1918. The memorial arch, designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield and George Lemon, bears the names of over 54,000 soldiers who have no known grave. The intricately crafted metalwork of the memorial, with its ornate designs and the names etched into its surface, is beautifully captured in this wooden base commemorative ware. The wooden base adds a sense of warmth and stability to the piece, making it a fitting tribute to the memories of those who gave their lives in the Western Front. The historical significance of the Menin Gate Memorial is further emphasized by the worn and aged look of the wooden base, which adds to the sense of history and nostalgia. The Menin Gate Memorial is a symbol of hope and remembrance, and this souvenir serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the soldiers who fought and died in the Great War. The intricate metalwork and the wooden base come together to create a beautiful and meaningful piece that is sure to be a cherished addition to any home or office. The Menin Gate Memorial is not just a historical landmark, but a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring human spirit. This souvenir is a testament to the importance of remembering the past and honoring the sacrifices made by our ancestors.
