This lot contains four vintage hand-painted chalkware character wall masks manufactured by Bossons in England. The collection includes detailed representations of historical and cultural figures featuring a smuggler in a green knit cap, a man wearing a bright red Turkish fez with a black tassel, a pirate character wearing an eyepatch and a red headscarf, and a traveler profile wearing a green fedora hat and a single hoop earring. Reviewing the damages, these fragile chalkware items show various signs of age and wear. Most notably, the mask wearing the green fedora has significant paint loss and chipped edges along the upper brim of the hat, and the pirate figure shows some minor scuffing on the chin and base. The back sides retain their original metal hanging loops and embossed maker marks, though light surface dust and localized paint flecks are present across the collection.
