About the Item

Rare 19th Century Hand Painted Over Papier Mache Gentleman’s Bust A rare and very unusual example dated from mid to late 19th Century, hand crafted papier Mache. In the form of a French officer with loops-pigtail, black ribbon with cravat formal dress, this bust would have been created for an important Naval officer. It shows a wonderful surface wear with its think papier Mache material, which makes it very decorative. All hand painted detail and hollow central section as shown, a wonderful artifact and rare due to its look and condition. Size: H 16” x W 11” x D 8” Completely solid in structure and form, being made from thick papier Mache has meant the aging process has led to loss of paint and surface detail.
