Napoleonic Prisoner Of War Bone Model Ship

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: John Howkins Antiques

A Napoleonic prisoner of war model sailing ship. Carved bone ship models like this one were made by French prisoners of war to keep them occupied during their imprisonment during the Napoleonic Wars (1792 - 1815). They were given a generous weekly meat ration, usually mutton stew so there was plenty of animal bone to work with. French prisoners often included skilled craftsmen like watchmakers and furniture makers and their finished models were sold to the public. Dimensions:- Height…17’’/ 43cm. Width…18’’/46cm. Depth…8’’/20cm. Free U.K. delivery on this item.
