Acquired from an antique dealer in Chatillon sur Seine in the Burgundy region, this is an early 1900s plaster sculpture or bust of a French country girl, peasant or paysan.

It had been used for many years periodically as a window display to commemorate the French Revolution on Bastille day, 14th July.

Soundly made from hand painted plaster or chalkware, it has a worn and illegible signature to the rear along with the number 220 and the word PARIS.

Now worn with some staining, scratches and chips but a nice patina and still very sound it makes a decorative great piece (if slightly eerie…).

In good vintage condition with wear, chips, and staining consistent with it’s age and use - please examine photographs carefully for condition.

The photos best show the condition of this.

It was very dusty on acquisition and has had a dust off.

The bust is thick and sound with many areas of wear - see photos.

The surfaces are bright and sound but with some chips, paint loss, and scratches down to bare plaster or chalk - see photos.

Stands well.

Marked to the lower rear edge with a signature in the centre which is illegible to me, 220 to the left and PARIS to the right.

Measures approximately:

33 cm tall, 27 cm long, 14 cm deep,
Weighs about 2.2 kg.
