Pollock's Diorama Pop-Up Card
$15.00 USD
The perfect companion to a soulful piece of jewelry, these pop-up dioramas from the iconic Benjamin Pollock’s Toyshop bring the magic of the Victorian stage to your gift. Originally inspired by the "penny plain and twopence coloured" toy theatres of 19th-century London, each card unfolds into a multi-layered world.
A reproduction of an original Victorian Pollock’s Theatre, this card is a piece of London’s "Theatreland" history. On opening, the card pops up into an enchanting 3-dimensional scene featuring the classic characters Harlequin and Colombine—designed to turn a simple message into a miniature performance.
This scene captures the heart of the Commedia dell'arte. Harlequin, the witty and acrobatic trickster, is famously in love with Colombine, the beautiful and clever daughter of Pantaloon. Their story is one of star-crossed romance and mischievous escape - making this the perfect backdrop for a gift of jewelry meant to celebrate a deep, playful, or enduring connection.
These cards are designed to be kept. We recommend displaying them on a bookshelf, vanity, or mantelpiece as a permanent miniature art installation.
Expertly die-cut in Germany to pop open instantly—no assembly required.
