At her side is a velvet-curtained cupboard with advertising for Maison Grondard of Paris and a shelf of various paper mache breads, while a basket of breads and muffins is at her feet. Hidden inside the cupboard are three paper mache heads which, when wound, alternately pop up and down when she turns her head and lifts the coins from the jar, music plays.

I DO A LAYAWAY.

For U.S. customers, please note: antiques over 100 years old are currently duty-free when imported into the United States under U.S. customs regulations (HTS Chapter 97, heading 9706).

I handle all customs paperwork and, if any import charges apply, pay them upfront, so you won’t be asked to pay any additional fees upon delivery.

Parcels are fully tracked, insured, and carefully packed.

Thank you for visiting and for sharing my love of these beautiful witnesses to the past.
