Characterful vintage wooden marionette featuring a hand-painted clown with a cheerful face, striped shirt, check trousers and bow tie. The puppet is operated by two wooden control bars — one for the arms and one for the legs — which can also be slotted together for combined use.
A charming mid-century design, likely European (1960s–1970s), made with painted wood, fabric and string. Ideal for collectors of vintage puppets, folk art and retro toys, or as a decorative display piece.
Good vintage condition with some cosmetic marks and general signs of use. Complete with both control bars. Care will be taken with packaging, but some untangling may be required after delivery due to the nature of marionette strings.
Dimensions:
Approx. 25 cm body height × 11 cm width × 6.5 cm depth (excluding strings and bars).
