19th century papier m?ch? tray depicting three terrier puppies tearing apart a doll toy, hand-painted on a wonderful Gothic-shaped tray by B. Walton & Co.
Benjamin Walton took over the running of the firm of Walton & Co. at Old Hall in Wolverhampton (previously known as Ryton and Walton) in 1842 when William Ryton, his partnet died. Under his direction the firm produced a wide range of decorative papier m?ch? wares until his death in 1847.
Walton & Co. are associated with a series of these so called ‘Gothic’ shaped trays, which were well-painted with all-over landscape views, or figures in landscapes.
