The enchanting art of papier-mâché, a craft has a rich and varied history. Originating in ancient China, papier-mâché—meaning "chewed paper" in French—was ingeniously used to craft helmets by layering paper with lacquer for strength. This versatile craft journeyed across continents, finding prominence in 17th-century France for creating decorative objects like trays and snuff boxes. By the Victorian era, it had evolved into a fashionable medium for furniture and ornate items, cherished for its adaptability and charm.

Much love,
