The Victorian era saw a profound appreciation for papier-mâché, a medium prized for its ability to be molded into elaborate shapes and adorned with intricate ornaments. This craft held such prestige that Queen Victoria was famously gifted a set of papier-mâché trays for her wedding in 1840. Judith has spent decades building her own collection of these remarkable pieces, discovering many of them during her teaching years in Australia and New Zealand.
