The second, from our historical themed three doll collection. Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.

 

A large 17" hand-dressed portrait doll of the tragic Mary Queen of Scots

Mary Stuart is a bisque porcelain doll, dressed in historical costume inspired by her National Portrait Gallery portrait.

She was Queen of France, Scotland and laid claim to the throne of England. After nineteen years of imprisonment she was beheaded, on the order of her cousin Queen Elizabeth I, after she was found guilty of high treason.

She wears an original costume design, crafted from black cotton-velvet, taffeta, lace, pearl trim and diamante embellishment. She sports a net gauze veil and a silver crucifix hangs from her waist. Under her over-skirts she wears petticoats and pantalets. 

She comes with her own original stand.

All our dolls are dressed using traditional costuming techniques (where possible) but in miniature. Each doll generally takes several days to dress and are highly detailed.

A New venture for Alexander Sanderson Designs!

 The first of a new range of dolls dressed as historical figures!

An 18" portrait doll of Queen Anne Boleyn

Based upon the 'Moost Happi' Medal & the Nidd Hall Portrait

She is an impressive 18", specifically re-painted, bisque porcelain doll. Anne is dressed in an original historical costume - from an originally cut pattern - crafted from a cotton velvet over-gown, flock taffeta under-skirts, embroidered taffeta under-sleeves, lace cuffs, pearl trim and diamante embellishments.

Her face and upper torso/arms have been re-painted to create a portrait doll of the tragic second wife of King Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elizabeth I; who was beheaded, after being falsely accused of adultery and high treason in 1536.

She comes with her own original stand.

The two sources used as inspiration for the dolls' design
