A Pelham Puppet Redressed as
Queen Catherine of Aragon
First wife to King Henry VIII

A lovely review from the customer who purchased this puppet:  

"Another wonderful item from this very talented seller. I will treasure this puppet along with the others I have purchased. I can't praise the handiwork & craftsmanship highly enough, it really is of the top most standard. In time these marionettes will become family heirlooms & passed on down the family line, along with the others I intend to buy."

Catherine is dressed in a green velvet gown, with brocade underskirts and undersleeves with taffeta lining her inner over-sleeves. Her bodice is boned and the whole gown is embellished using metallic gold braid, lace and imitation strings of pearls. 

Her buckramed English, gabled hood is trimmed with gold ribbon and braid, velvet and green rhinestones. 

Her feet and face have been fully repainted.

This puppet is strung on a vintage controller using traditional Pelham colours.
