Plaster, Papier Mache, Resin

Papier mache was created in China many centuries ago and they first began using it for helmets, which seems odd, but they used to cover them in many layers of lacquer to make them strong and harden them. China was also the country that created paper, so it made sense for them to be the first to experiment with it. France was the first European country, in the mid 17th Century to start using papier mache. One of the most well known English papier mache furniture and smaller item producers are Jennens & Bettridge in the 19th Century and their pieces are very collectable today.
