Item Description
A wonderful pair of hand crafted puppets by John Car, depicting Pierrot (little Peter) a clown character from European pantomime and his female equivalent Pierette.
John was a fine wood carver and his wife Eva costumed the puppets, the marionettes where made around 1935/1945 and performed into the early 70's by John, Eva and their four children Marjorie, Nancy, Barbara and John (Junior)
The puppets are not strung to be used, only for decorative purposes. Age related wear, fading and deterioration to the silk costumes, elderly repairs but complete with their original painted paper mache heads, carved pine bodies and cast lead feet.
