About the Item

We found this wonderful 19th century French Marionette in Rouen France. The puppet, and its art form, have been a mainstay of French cultural life for hundreds of years and is integral to the cultural fabric in France. Puppet shows were often used to denounce social injustice by taking the side of the little people and making fun of the bourgeois and the authorities. We have added a stand so the marionette can stand alone. This piece weighs .5 lbs.

20th Century String Puppet

Located in Los Angeles, CA

This oddly beautiful, in a tragic way, puppet was made somewhere in the 20th century, as we are uncertain of their specific creation date. The plexiglass case around them was custom made for them specially, and has kept them safe all these years. You are able to take the puppet out of the case and maneuver it around like any other string puppet. They are dressed in a white, silk suit with black pom poms decorating the gown. Their expression is dramatic in a way that you almost cannot tell what emotion they are expressing; it is up to your interpretation. Great as a collectors item. PLEXIGLASS BOX Dimensions: 32.5"H x 10.5"W x 10.5"D We do local delivery close or in Los Angeles for fee. Will calculate shipping...
