About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This vintage Sicilian puppet depicts Charlemagne, an icon of the Opera dei Pupi theatrical tradition. This work represents a piece of historic craftsmanship, characterized by its imposing figure and meticulous details reminiscent of chivalric epics. The puppet is crafted from a combination of materials, including metal for the embossed armor, wood for the frame, and fabric for the robes. It measures 35 centimeters tall, as indicated by the tape measure in the images. The predominant colors include the red of the cape, the blue of the robes, and the metallic tones of the armor, enhanced by multicolored feathers on the helmet. The original label "Paladini Siciliani - Carlo Magno - Lavorazione Artigianale" attests to its provenance and handcrafted quality. The overall condition is good, with signs of aging that lend the piece authenticity and character. The frame is intact, and the decorative details, such as the trimmings and feathers, are well preserved, maintaining the piece's original charm. This Sicilian puppet is ideal for enriching a folk art collection or as a decorative element in an eclectic or traditional setting. It fits perfectly in spaces that value history and craftsmanship, bringing a touch of Mediterranean culture.
