3 Foot tin plate and wood Vintage 1930s Sicilian Pupo Marionette Puppet Green

£302.00

This vintage Italian marionette puppet is a true collector's item. With its tin plate and wood construction, it dates back to the 1930s and is a fine example of Sicilian craftsmanship. 

The puppet stands at 3 feet tall and has been well-preserved, making it a fantastic addition to any collection of antique or vintage toys. Its intricate design and attention to detail are second to none, and it's easy to see why marionette puppets such as this were so popular in Italy during the early 20th century. 

With its vintage charm and historical significance, this marionette is a must-have for any serious collector or fan of classic toys.

As you would expect the cloth has some wear and small tears but it was actually used rather than been a ornament. There are 1 or2 pins missing and the original string but this easy to replace as i have but with new string. as you would expect also the tin plate has wear all over it as you can see in the pics but again this is around 90 years old so you would expect that.

I have the Green matching one that went with this in the shows up for sale too. I am Awaiting a handsteam cleaner coming and if it comes before the sale ends i will give the unifrom a quick steam clean.

This Puppet was an actual show puppet and did shows in Sicily a few years ago its not a copy made for holiday makers. Will make a nice conversation piece in your home. will post abroad if required.

Price of the item is £280 Postage is £22 so total cost is £302
