EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately crafted WW1 clock, adorned with a caribou head decoration and assorted engraving, serves as a poignant reminder of the history and humanity behind the First World War. The oval oak plinth, with its worn and weathered surface, adds to the antique charm of the piece. The clock face, framed by intricate metalwork, features the numbers etched into the metal, while the caribou head, with its expressive eyes and detailed antlers, gazes intently at the passing minutes. The assorted engraving on the clock, including human figures and soldiers, adds depth and meaning to the piece. Each figure, meticulously carved, tells a story of the men and women who lived through the tumultuous years of the war. The clock's hands, moving steadily forward, represent the passage of time and the inexorable march of history. This WW1 clock, a beautiful example of trench art, was created during the wartime years as a means of expression and connection to home for soldiers and civilians alike. Trench art, which includes a wide range of objects created during times of conflict, reflects the creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience of those who lived through the war. The caribou head decoration on this clock is a common motif in Inuit and Indigenous Canadian art, symbolizing strength, endurance, and the connection to nature. The use of this decoration on a WW1 clock adds an additional layer of meaning, representing the connection between the natural world and the human experience of war. This clock, with its historical significance and artistic merit, is a valuable addition to any collection of military memorabilia or historical artifacts. Its intricate details, beautiful craftsmanship, and poignant symbolism make it a unique and meaningful piece, worthy of careful preservation and appreciation.
