About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This vintage Sicilian puppet represents an authentic expression of traditional Italian craftsmanship. The sculptural figure embodies the classic knight of the Opera dei Pupi, a historic element of Sicilian folklore and theatrical tradition. The marionette is crafted from a complex combination of materials, including embossed metal for the armor, velvet fabric for the robes, and hand-painted wood for the face. The golden armor is enriched with decorative details and trimmings in shades of blue and gold, while the plum-colored cape features elegant gold fringes. The work measures 32 centimeters tall and comes complete with its traditional attributes, including a sword and a shield decorated with an eagle motif. The overall condition of the piece is good, retaining its original character and natural patina, lending it authenticity. The painted color details on the face and the metal structure of the armor maintain their visual and material integrity. This decorative object fits elegantly into eclectic or classically styled environments, serving as a focal point rich in historical narrative. The sculpture is ideal for enriching a folk art collection or for integrating a fragment of Italian tradition into a contemporary living space.
