- About Maxi-Marionettes
Handcrafted in Germany by Maxi Kiermeier, one of the world’s most talented - and creative - marionette-makers, this “Papageno” marionette looks after the troll forest’s vast population of winged creatures. Maxi, inspired, in part, by fairytale and fantasy figures, uses her vivid imagination to dream up each and every stringed character, creating her own, remarkable world of marionette creatures. Often referred to as Objet D’art, Maxi’s marionettes are on display in homes and offices worldwide.
You don’t have to know a thing about marionettes to admire and appreciate the quality and skill that goes into each one of these extraordinary puppets. Maxi handcrafts each and every marionette based on the traditional eye-bolt patterned puppets from old world puppet theatres, where every joint can be moved. The Papageno’s head and hands are each made of special ceramic while her clothes are custom designed and hand-tailored from a combination of new and antique fabrics as well as wonderfully charming embellishments. With an average of over 30 hours spent creating this Papageno marionette, she is made in very limited numbers and comes complete with her very own wooden birdcage and pet bird.
