Description
Model of the iconic Bridge over the River Kwai, a wooden representation with iron railings that evokes the original monumental structure built during World War II. The design captures the essence of the engineering of the time, with a composition of geometric frameworks that highlight the solidity and balance of the bridge.
The original bridge was part of the infamous Burma Railway, a project carried out by prisoners of war under Japanese rule between 1942 and 1943. Its story was immortalized in Pierre Boulle’s novel and the acclaimed 1957 film The Bridge on the River Kwai, directed by David Lean. Although filming took place in Sri Lanka, the actual structure, located in Thailand, remains a testament to human resilience.
This model, dating from the 1950s, embodies the memory of one of the most significant episodes in contemporary history. An ideal piece for collectors, historians or lovers of architectural design.
