Early 20th Century Painted Canvas Paris Theatre Mask Mould

About the Item

Early 20th Century Painted Canvas Paris Theatre Mask Mould An unusual piece of early 20th century theatrical costume, recently obtained from a Paris (France) theatre collection early this month, the collector we obtained this from used to work at the picture house and said it was uncovered in the storage with some other theatre props, she was unsure of its exact use. Made from aged canvas and covered with a painted surface with aged touch ups repairs. A very fragile item that has stood the test of time. We feel this item is likely to be a mould of sorts, rather than a mask as the eyes are not cut out. We have been informed by the previous owner It was kept in a wood box (not present) to maintain its form over the years. Size of inches: H 9” x W 7” x D 5” A very fragile object made from canvas, the edges are all frayed and worn as shown. The painted surface has seen aged repairs and repainted surfaces. This item can be mounted as photographed to present it as a decorative item. Its strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment upon purchase. For multiple years we have sold antique items globally, please expect our items to show relevant age and natural wear, Items are only restored due to breaks and major loss, and we always stipulate this in our condition report.
