Nostalgic opportunity- large matched set (2) cast iron doorstops of Punch and Judy depicting Punch with his dog and Judy with her beloved puppet, both in original hand painted patinated colors.
Punch and Judy was a traditional and popular puppet show featuring Pulcinella (Mr. Punch) and his wife Judy. The performance consists of a sequence of short scenes, each depicting an interaction between two characters, most typically Mr. Punch and one other character. It is often associated with traditional British seaside culture and sometimes performed with accompanying music. The various episodes of Punch and Judy are performed in the spirit of outrageous comedy—often provoking shocked laughter—and are dominated by the clowning Mr. Punch.
