Vintage Red and Black 18" Harlequin Peirrot Doll. Measures 18" in height. Good condition. No chips or breaks but the back of her head is scraped and face has smudge marks on it.
Bring home a piece of performance art history with this elegant Vintage Harlequin Pierrot Doll. Measuring 18" in height, this doll captures the timeless essence of the melancholy clown with a delicately painted porcelain face that includes a singular, poignant tear below the eye. The doll is dressed in a sophisticated burgundy satin ensemble with voluminous sleeves and matching pantaloons, contrasted by a black velvet bodice and leggings.
The velvet sections are beautifully detailed with silver embroidered crescent moons and stars, adding a celestial touch to the design. Finished with a black skullcap and high-heeled shoes, this jester represents the romanticized theatrical style popular in the late 20th century. While the doll remains in good structural condition with no chips or breaks, it does show its age and history through some surface scrapes on the back of the head and light smudge marks on the face. This piece is a wonderful find for collectors of Pierrot memorabilia, fans of French theater history, or those looking for unique shelf-sitting decor.
This item is vintage over 30 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
