You are getting very close. But not paper mache, something usually flatter.
Nowadays, it can be made digitally, while paper mache can't.![]()
The word means "to glue" in French.
It was invented by Pablo Picasso (a Spaniard), which I didn't know until I looked up facts about collages.

Thank you Diana and Marie.

NEW RIDDLE:
1) While once very useful, and visible everywhere, I am now, depending on where you live, all but obsolete.
2) I could be very stylish and decorative or very commonplace and simply functional.
3) Some people collect me.
What am I ?

It is not a fountain pen, but that was an excellent answer.

Another good guess, but unfortunately not a chandelier.
HINT: Many people are glad I am gone.

I just knew someone was going to say that, but no, it isn't a phone.
Not photos. Sorry.
Another Hint: I was a lesser-member conspirator in an activity which could kill people.
(I am personifying the thing in this hint. It is not a biological entity.)

No, but you are on the right track and are very close.

Obsolete, stylish collectible that killed people?
A cigarette holder?
