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
(The 'Moost Happi' Medal as reconstructed by master stonemason Lucy Churchill) 

This doll is now available for sale on eBay.

Watch out for the next two in the collection:

Mary Queen of Scots

&

Marie Antoinette



Crafted by Alexander Sanderson Designs
