About the Item

Napoleonic Prisoner of war painted casket dominoes set We share what we love, and we love this early 19th century Napoleonic prisoner of war hand painted casket dominos set. One of the most detailed and finely hand carved pieces of folk art we have had the pleasure to uncover. Quite simply, amazing attention to detail and a true work of art. Many prisoners of war from the late eighteenth through the early nineteenth centuries made craft items which they sold or traded to acquire a few small necessities such as soap, salt, cigarettes, and medicine. These items where made from found objects such as pine crates, mutton bone from leftover food and string or straw. Size of inches: H 3” x W 6.5” x D 3” Completely solid in structure and form, with natural wear and patination across all surfaces due to age and use. An authentic piece dating from the early 19th Century. A rare survivor considering its age.
