Early 20th Century French Wwi Trench Art Brass Artillery Shell Lamps With Italian Marble Bases - A Pair
Chairish$1,850
A beautifully sculptural pair of authentic WWI trench art lamps, crafted from solid brass artillery shells and hand-worked with subtle hammered texture and stylized repoussé detailing. This pair features a more refined, architectural profile, with elongated fluted forms and softly scalloped motifs that highlight the craftsmanship while allowing the warm brass surface and natural patina to take center stage. The restrained decoration gives these lamps a timeless versatility—equally at home in traditional, European-inspired interiors or more modern, curated spaces. Each lamp is mounted on a solid Italian marble base, providing a crisp contrast to the rich brass tones and adding a sense of balance and weight. Originally repurposed from early 20th-century French 75 mm artillery shells, these pieces represent a powerful transformation of material—objects of war turned into enduring decorative art. Newly wired and ready for use.
