Item Description
Evocative of the magic of the fairground, the mask and backboards paint has flaked and chipped off in places with some small cracks here due to the nature of it being a well-used amusement item, the chalk numbering is later and the ball tray is possibly a later replacement.
Historically, passé-boule (ball-toss) was a very popular fairground game in France from the 19th century onwards and the masks often depict figures to be ridiculed.
A particularly aesthetically pleasing example that adds an instant nostalgic charm to a room.
