Customer Reviews
Adriana L.12/31/2025This piece is breathtaking! It's small enough to fit any installation size and I love it because you can place it in the middle of walking people. The action movement is from side to side so it looks like the old man is yelling to promote/sell his items. I did get an old man which was great and the dress was extremely close to the actual item picture. This is not an inexpensive piece. Quite contrary. It is expensive but I would purchase it again in a heartbeat! The detail is SUPERB without a doubt: the paint job, the clay mastery, the depth of the dress, the cleanliness of the display and its compact size, the selection of the action (meaning the hands placed as a voice enhancer next to his mouth, the color combination and the baskets makes this a winner. For those of you that are concerned about the price my advice is just to buy it. At the end of the day if you don't like it you can always return it without any cost to you. However I am positive it will have the same effect on you as it did on me and it will for sure be a keeper. You will get many compliments on it.
