An evoking French First World War patriotic glass pendant, it holds a finely detailed pendant of the famed "Canon de 75" artillery piece, widely regarded as the first modern field gun and a powerful symbol of French resilience. Behind the cannon rests an original fragment of the French tricolour, layered over preserved dried fern fronds, a symbol of endurance and remembrance. Likely produced in connection with the 1915 fundraising campaign known as La Journée du 75, this pendant reflects the deeply emotional character of wartime patriotic jewellery, created to support soldiers at the Front while allowing civilians to wear their patriotism close to the heart. A touching and historically resonant relic of the Great War.
The pendant measures 2,8 cm in diameter.
This pendant is in perfect Antique condition, no major visible dents or scratches. Fully cleaned and ready to wear!
