At the 19th. century was a Guignol one of the most popular toy puppet theater in France and Paris .... and at this times it is hard to find a good one in good condition and small size so that it would fit in a good doll collection !

The Guignol theater was also offered in the Etrennes catalog of " Grand Magazin de Louvre " or from " Au Bon Marche " and other Paris Depratment stores ! It´s all made of wooden and paper mache with beautifully gild painting of pretty carved wooden and papermache details and ornaments !

There is still a original muslin curtain with lovely print ..... possible to roll it up and down and with an card board plate which has also a print hand colored sides so that you have a nice background if the curtain are open . It has a ovely litho print at front and it would be an eye catcher for displaying your antique French or German doll´s in a lovely doll scene with the theater ..... for me it was a lot of fun to create an doll scene and play with it :) !!
