Description

A rare Swiss jointed Pierrot metal doll by Bucherer SABA, dating from the early 20th century.

This charming and finely crafted figure measures approximately 20 cm in length and features a jointed metal body with composition hands and a moulded male head. Modelled as Pierrot, the wistful clown of the Commedia dell’Arte, the doll displays beautifully painted facial features that capture the character’s expressive, melancholic allure.

Expertly constructed with precise Swiss engineering, the articulated joints allow the figure to be posed with remarkable fluidity, reflecting the mechanical innovation and craftsmanship for which Bucherer SABA was renowned. The harmonious balance of design, proportion, and movement exemplifies the artistry of early 20th-century European toy production.

A delightful and uncommon collector’s piece, combining mechanical ingenuity with the poetic charm of a classic theatrical figure.
