THIS IS A SUPERB AND UNIQUE ITEM DATING TO THE REIGN OF KING GEORGE III AND WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE BY A NAPOLEONIC PRISONER OF WAR. STRAW-WORK AT THIS TIME WAS VERY POPULAR FOR NAPOLEONIC PRISONERS AS A WAY OF OCCUPYING THE MIND AND SPENDING THEIR TIME WHILST IN MILITARY PRISONS. STRAW-WORK ITEMS WERE OFTEN SOLD AT PRISON GATES AS A WAY OF RAISING SMALL SUMS OF MONEY FOR THE PRISONERS.

THIS IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH JUST SMALL AREAS OF DAMAGE/LIFTING AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE DETAILED PHOTOGRAPHS. IT WOULD LOOK STUNNING FRAMED AND WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION OF MILITARIA. IT HAS BEEN IN OUR OWN COLLECTION FOR OVER 10 YEARS. DO offer ACCORDINGLY AS IT IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE LIKE THIS THAT WE HAVE, AND IF YOU FAIL TO WIN THE sale IT IS TOO LATE AFTERWARDS!

 FOR CONDITION PLEASE ALSO SUPERSIZE THE MANY DETAILED PHOTOGRAPHS LISTED ABOVE.


A GUARANTEED GENUINE, 200+ YEAR-OLD EXAMPLE OF NAPOLEONIC PRISONER-OF-WAR ART AND CRAFTSMANSHIP - OFFERED AT A £1 OPENING offer AND
