On offer is a rare and finely crafted Dutch Oorlogsgravenstichting Bronze Armorial Paperweight, mounted on an elegant green marble base. This beautifully detailed piece pays homage to the Oorlogsgravenstichting (War Graves Foundation)—an esteemed organization dedicated to preserving the stories and honoring the memory of those who lived through World War II and subsequent conflicts.

The paperweight features a high-relief bronze crest, prominently displaying two heraldic lions flanking a shield, topped by a crown, surrounded by laurel branches. The inscription reads:
“Oorlogsgraven Stichting – Opdat Zij Met Eere Mogen Rusten”, which translates to “War Graves Foundation – So That They May Rest With Honor”.

Crafted with quality and dignity, the bronze has developed a rich patina over time, enhancing its appeal. The marble base shows minor wear commensurate with age, including a small chip to one corner, clearly shown in the images, but this does not detract from its overall presentation.

Measuring approximately 105mm by 85mm by 22mm deep, this paperweight is both a functional desk accessory and a deeply meaningful commemorative piece.
