19th century French Napoleon War Soldier Work Domino Painted Basket, 1820s

About the Item

Beautiful and rare 19th-century domino set made by a prisoner of war in the 1820s. Entirely hand-carved and painted, depicting a bourgeois, young women, seascapes, bouquets of flowers, and more. This piece shows a remarkable quality and craftsmanship. Many prisoners of war from the late 18th to early 19th centuries made handcrafted items that they sold or traded to acquire basic necessities such as soap, salt, cigarettes, and medicines. These items were made from found objects such as pine crates, sheep bones from food scraps, and string or straw. 55 carved domino pieces. Some signs of wear and tear, but in relatively good condition for an item of this age.
