Lot description

The Ferrigno family workshop, founded in 1836 and still active today, is one of the most ancient in southern Italy, specialising mainly in crib figurines. Its current owner is the fourth generation.
The present Pulcinella piece could be a work commissioned from Ferrigno's workshop in the 19th century to decorate the interior of the theatre of San Carlo in Naples, the most important theatre in the city and one of the most famous in the world. Inaugurated in 1737, it burnt down in 1816 and was rebuilt.
Damages to the torso.
Approx. 40 x 21 x 19 cm.
