When I saw this beautiful British 18 pounder in a brocante shop near Ypres, I fell in love with the simplicity of the design.
As a tribute to the unknown soldier and his excellent sense of beauty and art, I copied the art deco pattern into the stained glass lampshade. I completed each side with officer buttons from regiments who fought in Ypres and Passchendaele. -West Yorkshire Regiment -South Lancashire Regiment -Royal Northhumberland Fuseliers -The Welsh Regiment -Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry - Royal Sussex Regiment -King’s Own Scottish Borderers -Devonshire Regiment Measures: Wide:35.5 cm Height: 52 cm Weight; 3.6 kg |

This unique lamp is made in black opaque glass with poppies and leaves. One poppy centre is a bullet from the shell. The shell itself, with the pork tails are archeological finds of the Pond Farm. (Langemark-Poelkapelle) Farm that alternately fell into German and English hands during the First World War.
A original WOUND STRIPE was placed between a glass dogtag. A wound stripe was a distinction of dress bestowed on soldiers wounded in combat. It was typically worn on military uniform jackets. The British Army began awarding a brass “Wound Stripe” in 1916, with approval by King George V. The badge was worn vertically on the left forearm and inset between the Good Conduct stripes, fastened through the uniform cloth. Measures: height: 47 cm weight: 3,5 kg diameter of the shade: 28 cm SOLD |

This lamp was made in gratitude to my daugther who accompanied me on several occasions on behalf of my birthday to visit the front line of WW 1 and WW 2.
I received from her a photo-collection of our travels, with on the last page the text; 'It was a time to remember and never to forget.' The lamp symbolises the sunrise (the future, the hope, ... ) and sunset (the past, the memory, ...) SOLD |

This lamp I created especially for Stijn Butaye, the inspiror of the PONDFARM.
The creation symbolizes the 'old oak tree' who survived WW1 and is still at the moment the oldest friend of the Pondfarm, a silent witness. In the tree lamp, I have placed the badge of the Royal Corp Company, one of the regiments who liberated the farm. The lamp is fitted on a original shell with a pigtail found on the farm itself.
