In fabulously time worn paint is this pair of 19th century travelling trunks belonging to Lt Colonel Jouinot of the French Army. The paint is wonderful, time worn and with the original writing on each case. With the original red lining these trunks were meant for travelling. In detail we have the following. Two locks and hasps with both locks in the open position. Those present have been added purely for decorative effect and do not operate the locks. 4 metal hoops which would have been used to attach the trunk to the back of a wooden waggon via leather straps. On the lid of the trunk there is amazingly the remains of a paper label on which the words,’Colonel Jouinot’ can be discerned. The original nails holding this paper to the lid are still present. Inside the trunk there are the remains of two straps and buckles which would have been used to keep folded clothing (tunics etc) in place. The remains of one of the fastening straps used to keep the lid in place is still there. The discernible painted lettering on the front of the trunk is as follows: DINF, L Colonel Jouinot (please see below for the interpretation). Given that the name of the owner of the trunks was Jouinot it is possible to detect the lettering of this name on the top of the trunk (but it would not be possible to do this without this knowledge). One central lock and hasp. The hasp doesn’t fit into the lock because the lock is in the closed position. The one that is present is purely for decorative effect. External buckles which would have been used for leather straps to hold the trunk lid in place. There is no evidence of any internal straps and buckles. The discernible lettering is as follows: 46 Lt Colonel Jouinot. The complete lettering on both trunks is likely to have been: 4. 6 10e D1 Inf. The meaning of this lettering is as follows. The 46 Infantry regiment was part of the French Army’s 10th Infantry Division based in Paris. It saw action during the First World War, particularly during the Argonne offensive, where in October 1914 – along with the rest of the division – it saw heavy fighting, and suffered heavy casualties. It took part in the battle of Vauquois in February 1915, where the regimental band – playing the Marseilles for the 46th regiment which had combined with the 76th and 89th regiments as they attacked, were among the first to be killed. I believe the trunks were the possession of Francois Leon Prosper Jouinot who, in 1906 was permitted to add his mother’s name of Gambetta so he became known as Jouinot-Gambetta. He was born on July 6th 1870. He became a Colonel in 1913. The rank immediately before this was Lieutenant-Colonel so we can date these trunks to before 1913. In the years before 1913 Francois Jouinot served in Africa. These trunks were therefore probably present in both Africa and on the western front. Please be aware that these trunks are very time worn. I have dusted them off but apart from that they are in’as found’ condition. I cannot see what else could be done to restore them without destroying the history they clearly have. The photographs are a good representation of their condition. The dimensions are as follows. Both trunks have the same dimensions. These trunks can be collected, but I also have a couple of very reliable and experienced couriers of antique items who can be called upon to transport these to their new home. Please message me if you would like me to obtain a quote. Transportation is just to within mainland UK. Please see my other predominantly 18th and 19th century items.
Rare Uranium Green Frosted & Clear Art Deco Boy. Sitting on the Fish Float Bowl 1920’s or 1930’s. This is a rare Uranium Green frosted Art Deco Boy sitting on the Fish. The uranium figurine is frosted. The uranium float bowl is clear with a frosted finish on the leaves which are protruding out of the back of the bowl. The rim of this bowl turns into the bowl and is a straight rim and is extremely rare, I have not seen another. Most of the leaf bowls usually have the rim of the bowl turning over and out of the bowl. The Boy sitting on the Fish Figurine. Flower Frog is 7.25 inches or 18.5cm high. The built in flower frog is nearly 5.5 inches or 14cm in across. There are 2 tiny chips on the inside edge of the bottom of the flower frog where it sits in the bowl. Otherwise it is in very good condition. There are no chips, cracks or repairs on the figurine. The round bowl is 12.75 inches. In diameter and is 4 inches or 10cms high. There are 2 tiny nibbles on the side of the foot which are hard to notice and you really have to look to see them. Float bowl is in. In diameter at the base and almost 5 inches or 12.5cm in diameter across the top of the stand. It is 3.75 inches or 9.5cms high. In good condition with only a bit of roughness or you could call it nibbles on the inside of the top of the stand. The tiny imperfections have been mentioned for accuracy. You rarely see these uranium green float bowls anymore, they are a lovely bowl. Float bowls in this good condition are getting very scarce, you hardly ever see these Boy on the Fish float bowl sets. It is a good quality figurine and float bowl and is very heavy when combined and on display. These were made in the Depression era 1920’s and 1930’s and are nearly 100 years old. Both the figurine and the bowl glow strong under a UV light. Have a look at all the photos to see the lovely colour and condition. I know what it is like to get broken items and feel bitterly disappointed when they are not wrapped properly. I will double box this lovely green frosted and clear uranium Boy on the Fish. To protect it, and make sure you get it in the same beautiful condition it is in now.
