Product description
A splendid pair of period Sicilian puppets, depicting the legendary protagonists of the Carolingian cycle: the valiant paladin Orlando and the beautiful Angelica. These artifacts are not mere souvenirs, but authentic folk art objects created by the historic company Lanzafame Sebastiano of Aci Sant’Antonio (Catania), a world-class center of excellence for the decoration and construction of puppets. The pieces date back to 1985, a golden age for fine Sicilian collecting. Construction Details and Materials The workmanship strictly follows the canons of Catanian tradition, as confirmed by the included original guarantee certificate: Face and Head: Sculpted in wood and finely hand-painted with vivid expressions. Armor: Made of burnished brass, embossed and chiseled with ornamental motifs. Clothing: Velvet and cotton robes, entirely hand-sewn with gold trimmings. Accessories: Complete with original rigging rods, shields, and swords. Technical Data Features Maker: Sebastiano Lanzafame (Aci Sant'Antonio) Vintage Period (1985) Dimensions (each): Height 28 cm Total Weight 1.0 kg (approximately 500 g per piece) Excellent Condition. The structure is intact, the fabrics are well preserved, and the natural oxidation of the brass lends it a timeless charm.
