WWI Poilus Wooden Frame...SOLD
Amongst the items on the brocante dealer's stand was a wooden frame with an image of a little girl holding flowers. As I admired the hand carved wooden frame, the dealer asked me, "Are you a collector of "Poilus objects" ?" Looking up, I gave him a look that indicated that I had no idea what he was talking about.
"Poilus?" I asked, "I know it has something to do with facial hair... but other than that, I don't have a clue as to what Poilus objects are."
The dealer went on to tell me that "Poilus" were infantrymen during WWI (1914-1918) who while in the trenches made small crafts for their loved ones as they endure life in the trenches.

Bonjour
- Welcome to Tongue in Cheek Antiques. Each and every weekend many brocantes (antique markets) take place in France. In the twenty some years that I have lived here I have gone to more brocantes than my cupboards can bear to hold. Hence Tongue in Cheek Antiques was created. The items on this blog are old. They might not be in perfect condition. Antiques vary in size, color, shape, no two items are exactly alike. The price listed on each item includes shipping anywhere in the world. Returns or refunds are not accepted. If there is something from the French Brocante that you are looking for please let me know and I'll try to find it for you. All photos on this site belong to Corey Amaro. Do not reproduce without my permission. Copyright 2010
