Margarido (Jourdan's wife)

Margarido is "Marguerite" in Provençal. In the Pastorale Maurel, the Christmas play written in Marseille in the 19th century and still performed today, she and her husband Jourdan form a strong-willed old farming couple. Their squabbles make the audience laugh, but the two end up setting off together on the road to Bethlehem.

Our 4 cm Margarido with umbrella suits medium-sized Nativity scenes. Place her beside Jourdan, her husband, to complete the couple, or among the Pastorale characters. Her umbrella adds a touch of whimsy and movement to the scene.

She is made in our Aix-en-Provence workshop, founded in 1934. Each santon is cast in a very fine regional clay from a hand-sculpted model, trimmed and smoothed by hand, dried slowly, then fired at 960 °C. Our painters then decorate her by brush, dot by dot.

Find the Pastorale characters in our shop-workshop at 65 cours Gambetta. Ordered online, Margarido is wrapped on her own in paper and then bubble wrap, and ships within 2 to 3 business days.
