geen - Toy puppet - 1960-1970

This set of wooden puppet theatre figures belongs to the rarest category within folk art and historical toys. Puppet theatre figures from the mid‑20th century were heavily used in schools, small theatres and home performances, which makes complete, original sets almost impossible to find on today’s market.

Each figure is entirely hand‑carved and hand‑painted, featuring expressive faces and characteristic details typical of authentic craftsmanship. Most surviving figures from this period are damaged, incomplete or restored — this set, however, is remarkably intact, significantly increasing its collectible value.

For collectors of folk art, historical toys and unique wooden figures, this is a special opportunity to acquire a set that is rarely offered at auction.

Strong Rarity Highlights

• Complete set — Puppet theatre figures are usually found individually; a full set is exceptional.
• Original condition — No visible restorations; paint and wood are authentic and age‑appropriate.
• Craftsmanship — Hand‑carved figures from this era are scarcely available.
• High demand, low supply — Folk‑art figures form a niche market with very limited availability.
• Historical value — Puppet theatre figures are disappearing from private collections, and museums actively acquire them.

Good vintage condition with minor age‑related wear. Structure and paint layer are stable and original.
