Why You’ll Love It
This enchanting Royal Prince or Young King marionette is a one-of-a-kind miniature treasure created by celebrated artisan Loretta Kasza and custom commissioned for Maureen's remarkable puppet maker's workshop collection. Designed as a true marionette for a dollhouse doll to manipulate and perform with.
A detailed tunic crafted from brown and gold metallic brocade fabric, paired with ruffled reddish-pink undersleeves. A heavy, dark eggplant-colored royal cloak draped elegantly over his shoulders. A bright gold-toned filigree crown adorned with small red faux-gemstone accents resting on his dark hair. Fine cream-colored hosen (tights) paired with classic pointed black shoes. Suspended from a straight wooden overhead controller bar hanging from the main multi-puppet display rack.
Perfect for a puppet maker's shop, medieval castle, knight's hall, fantasy scene, historical theater display, royal court, Renaissance festival setting, or alongside the other custom marionettes from this extraordinary collection.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
