Antique Military Standing Gong Handcrafted WWI Trench Art - Engraved Great War

SKU: VMA425

A very unique and rare item beautifully crafted Dinner Gong with the three-tier brass shell as chimes.  
Solid wooden frame with carving on the top:   Great War 1914 1919.
The carving also has a poppy centerpiece with a surround of poker work which is typical of the Art Nouveau era.
The top gong (shell) has an engraving of flags crossed symbolic of Union Jack, St Georges Cross, and the Irish Flag grouped together.  Around the side of it, we have the Welsh Feathers on their own.

Very symbolic work of art, ideal for the military collector.  Truly unique.  This is such prestigious artwork it probably stood in some Military Head Quarters

Condition: Great antique condition, some wear commensurate with age and use - beautiful patina. Great Quality Item. Rings perfectly - please see the video.
The Gong striker is not original.
