Antique Wooden Rabbit Marionettes
This charming pair of antique wooden marionettes depict rabbits, likely dating from the mid-20th century or earlier. Crafted from wood and exhibiting a naive folk art style, these puppets feature articulated limbs allowing for playful manipulation. Their painted features and simple construction evoke a sense of rustic charm and handmade quality, making them a delightful example of traditional toy making.

Despite this, they remain structurally sound and retain their original character. These puppets would appeal to collectors of antique toys, folk art enthusiasts, or those seeking a unique and charming decorative item.
