About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This handcrafted Sicilian puppet represents a knight from the Opera dei Pupi, an emblematic figure in Italian theatrical tradition. This collectible marionette stands out for its handcrafted craftsmanship and attention to historical details that characterize the paladins of France. Crafted from a wood and metal frame, the puppet wears embossed and decorated metal armor, embellished with gold trimmings and velvet and cotton fabrics in shades of green and blue. The face is hand-painted with bold features, while the helmet is topped with a striking plume of multicolored feathers. The figure is armed with a sword and shield, typical elements of the chivalric repertoire. The overall height is approximately 30 centimeters. The overall condition reflects its age and use, maintaining the authentic character of the object. The patina of age on the metal and textile materials adds further charm to this testimony to folk craftsmanship. Ideal for enriching a folk art collection or as a striking decorative element in an eclectic or classically styled setting. This Sicilian puppet embodies the history and vitality of a centuries-old tradition, fitting perfectly into contexts that celebrate historic craftsmanship.
