In 19th-century Europe, theater was a favorite pastime for children of wealthy families. Toy theaters emerged as a charming, affordable way to recreate famous plays at home. Popularized by Benjamin Pollock in London from the 1850s, these miniature stages—made from paper, cardboard, or wood—brought fairy tales, historical events, and classic stories like Dickens and La Fontaine’s fables to life.
Though interest waned with the advent of photography and film, toy theaters survived thanks to collectors and artisans. Today, Figurart continues this heritage with handcrafted mini theaters made from compressed wood, painted and varnished to preserve vivid colors over time. Each model combines traditional watercolor designs with precise cutting and assembly, opening a magical window to theatrical storytelling.
Figurart theaters aren’t just toys—they’re elegant decorative pieces, offered in soft pastel hues like brown, blue, pink, green, and yellow.
Perfect for libraries, bedside tables, or creative interiors, they blend cultural heritage with artistic craftsmanship, inviting you to enjoy the timeless joy of miniature theater.
