Set of Vintage French Folk Art Puppet Heads on Wooden Stand
A rare and visually striking set of vintage French Folk Art puppet heads, mounted on a wooden stand. These hand-crafted heads originate from the rich tradition of French puppet theatre and display wonderfully expressive features, each with its own distinct character and charm.
The set includes the following characters:
-
The Sailor
-
The Old Hag
-
Zorro
-
The Fireman
-
The French Lieutenant
-
The Poodle
-
The Geisha Girl
Each head shows an authentic aged surface with natural patina and small chips, consistent with their vintage nature and original use. This wear adds depth, character, and a sense of history. The wooden stand is in very good condition, offering a clean and stable presentation that contrasts beautifully with the aged heads.
This piece works exceptionally well as a wall-mounted display or as a sculptural focal point in an interior, appealing to collectors of Folk Art, theatrical objects, and rare decorative antiques.
