Pepe The Clown
The expression is what makes this figure one of the best we have been fortunate enough to uncover in a long time, the attention to detail is brilliant.
Description
Early 20th Century Clown Puppet
A charming yet slightly creepy looking early 20th Century hand crafted oversized Arlecchino puppet figure. With hand carved wooden body, fully articulated and with an amazing hand carved black wooden masked face with red pimple. Wearing its hand stitched diamond shape velour outfit with lace detail and suede boots. The expression is what makes this figure one of the best we have been fortunate enough to uncover in a long time, the attention to detail is brilliant.
Arlecchino is one of the youngest characters of the comedy and the use of this character in the Commedia dell’Arte has been traced back to as early as 1593. Arlecchino’s usual role is that of a faithful valet or servant, but in this context he is also the clown, the acrobat providing lots of comic relief!
