R. John Wright Dolls is pleased to present the classic Commedia dell'arte fable of Columbine, Pierrot, and Harlequin. In 2006, Columbine was produced as a special event piece. True to the Commedia dell'arte storyline, Columbine's two handsome suitors - are now both competing for her affections: gentle Pierrot and haughty Harlequin.

Standing approximately 14" tall, both dolls are fully jointed and made entirely of the finest all-wool felt incorporating realistic sculptural torsos and limbs and compelling molded character faces with exquisitely hand painted features.

Pierrot is costumed in a classic pure silk outfit with covered felt buttons. On his head is a felt skullcap and a wide brim hat topped by a felt feather. Black cotton stockings and hand-cobbled shoes made of fine white leather complete his period ensemble. Around his neck Pierrot holds a beautifully detailed custom-made wooden mandola with which to serenade his beloved Columbine.

Harlequin is dressed in an elaborately-pieced felt Court Jester costume in shades of rose, cream and peridot green. He wears an authentic felt bicorne hat atop his mohair wig and a separate felt face mask. Cream colored cotton stockings, hand-cobbled felt and leather shoes, and a hand carved gilt wood sword, complete his dashing outfit.

Harlequin and Pierrot are both produced in a limited editions of just 250 pieces worldwide. Each will come enclosed in a deluxe RJW presentation box along with the accompanying signed and numbered certificate of authenticity and the forms for owner registration. Matched number sets are offered subject to availability. Contact your R. JOHN WRIGHT Authorized Dealer for further details.
