This trench art brooch, crafted from an Argentine peso coin, captures the essence of freedom and resistance. At the center of the brooch is the profile of Marianne, the personification of liberty and the republic, who has been used as a symbol of emancipation and struggle. Marianne, with her characteristic Phrygian cap topped with a star, is surrounded by a crescent moon, creating a powerful image that has been cherished in times of both peace and conflict.
Trench art is a folk art form that flourished during times of war, when soldiers transformed everyday objects into meaningful and personal pieces. This brooch is a prime example of that tradition, repurposing an old coin to create a wearable work of art that conveys a message of hope and freedom. The coin's reverse still displays engraved details, adding authenticity and a tangible connection to the past.
Ideal for collectors of trench art, jewelry with a story, or those who appreciate symbols of freedom, this brooch is a unique piece that combines history, art, and symbolism in a single accessory. It's perfect as a gift or as a curious addition to a diverse jewelry collection.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.
If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
