Kaiser Wilhelm II Bust

Product Description: This Kaiser Wilhelm II Bust is a fine piece of art, depicting the last German Emperor and King of Prussia. It is made of brass, with a beautiful, old, bronze patina, and measures 4 inches tall and 3 inches wide. The surface is smooth and lustrous, with chocolate brown tones. This bust depicts a bare-headed Kaiser Wilhelm II in military uniform, complete with his impressive rack of decorations. It’s nicely detailed, and a great likeness. This bust does show wear from handling over time, with some scattered marks and just a little bit of old grime in a couple of small spots. The underside is round, with an opening that reveals the hollow nature of this casting. It’s possible that this piece was originally mounted on some kind of base but this is not clear. This Kaiser Wilhelm II Bust has a great look, and is in excellent condition.

Historical Description: European artisans of the 19th and 20th centuries created countless artworks with military and political themes. Some of these were connected to specific military, political, civil and paramilitary organizations, while others were commercially available pieces that anyone could buy. These art pieces took countless forms, from busts or statues of military leaders, to sculpted wall plaques, fine art paintings, fine porcelain, and every other kind of art in use at the time. Some were unique, custom works of art; some of these were made as presentation pieces. Others were mass produced as decorative or souvenir items; catalogs filled with all kinds of such mass-market items were produced by a number of factories. After the end of WWII, artwork featuring military or nationalistic imagery fell out of favor in some European societies. Many pieces were destroyed.
