Pinocchio Carved Wooden Puppet

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

It is a very charming antique Pinocchio doll. Such antique wooden toys are being offered at auction on a regular basis.
The Pinocchio story is based on the Italian childrens book from 1883. Your Pinocchio doll is very charming and appears to be in good condition despite its old age. The original clothes and the good condition of the wood is very good for an estimate and potential selling price. There has been made numerous copies worldwide and during the last 100 years. It is a true collectors item however the last few years there has become fewer collectors of items like this which has affected the price in a negative direction.
However, I still believe that your Vincenzo Ferreri Pinocchio doll would attract the attention of both collectors and dealers if it came up for auction which is why there is a large gap in the estimate as it may be an item that would surprise at auction.
The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online toys auction, where I believe the Pinocchio doll has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the unique and charming Pinocchio doll. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help.
Thank you
