Meet Pierrot, the original soft boy. He is the moon-gazing, heart-on-his-sleeve clown of old French pantomime, and this little violinist has been quietly serenading shelves since the 1980s. Tucked in his ivory costume with the ruffled collar, jet-black buttons, and that sweet, slightly wistful face, he is equal parts theatrical and tender. Pure vintage romance. This is a Gorham musical figurine with a Sankyo movement, the good stuff. Give the wheel beneath the cushion a wind and he slowly revolves atop his fuchsia tasseled pillow while the music plays. He is the kind of piece that stops people mid-browse and makes them ask "oh, what IS that," which is exactly what you want on a shelf, a vanity, a piano top, or a curated little vignette of curiosities. Beautifully preserved with no chips, cracks, or flaking, and he still performs his whole act on cue. Collectors of Pierrot, Gorham, music boxes, and all things gently theatrical, this one is for you.
Condition: Excellent, well-preserved. No chips, cracks, or paint loss. Winds, spins, and plays.
