Early 20th Century English Butchers Shop Display Figure

About the Item

Early 20th century English butchers shop display figure. We share what we love, and we love this early 20th century papier Mache and wood composite figure. Recently acquired from a butcher’s shop in Lancashire. We have been informed that it originally sat in the shop window holding a wooden tray that slotted into the stomach section, this tray would hold items that the butcher had on special offer that day. A wonderful object with lots of natural age and character. Size of inches: H 21” x W 9” x D 10” Condition: Aged Origin: United Kingdom Age: early 20th century.   Completely solid in structure and form, Natural aging across all surfaces. Some of original paint has flaked of and we assume this item has had a number of layers of paint added over the years. The base is made from wood and supports the pig with it leaning forward. With wear across all the surfaces but a solid object.
