Item Details

Early 20th century English papier Mache butchers shop display pig figures


A pair of quirky and authentic early 20th century English papier Mache butchers shop display pig figures. One with a papier Mache base and the other with a pine base which are firmly in place. Each figure is handcrafted and with painted detail as shown. With aged repairs and you may expect from item of this era. One would have displayed either small pies or food products of sorts. They were recently uncovered from the same grocery store in Cornwall early this month.
