Armoured Cast Desk Inkwell Ornament Trench
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This die-cast desk ornament showcases a white Laffly French armored car, a rare and intricately detailed collectible piece that transports us back in time to the tumultuous era of World War I. The Laffly W15 T26 armored car, produced by the French automobile manufacturer Laffly, was a formidable military vehicle used extensively during the First World War. Its distinctive design, with its angular silhouette and armored body, was a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the French military during this period. The ornament's unique feature is the helmet-shaped inkwell, adding an element of functionality and practicality to this decorative piece. The helmet, a symbol of protection and courage, is a poignant reminder of the soldiers who risked their lives during the conflict. The intricate details of the Laffly armored car and the helmet inkwell are a testament to the artistry and skill of the trench artists who created this piece during the war. Trench art, also known as battlefield art, emerged during World War I as a way for soldiers to express their creativity and pass the time in the harsh conditions of the trenches. These pieces were often made from materials readily available, such as discarded military equipment, shell casings, and scrap metal. The result was a unique and diverse body of work that reflected the experiences and emotions of the soldiers who created them. This die-cast desk ornament is not only a beautiful and intriguing addition to any office or study, but it also serves as a reminder of the rich military history of World War I and the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the soldiers who lived through it.
