 A Pelham Puppet Redressed as
Queen Anne Boleyn

A new design for 2025, 
now on public sale on eBay! 


This Pelham Puppet has been fully redressed as the tragic second wife to King Henry VIII - based on her portrait held in Hever Castle, her childhood home. Anne was unjustly executed, by the sword, after only three years of being queen.


The gown is cut from a rich black velvet  - with red braided and metallic gold trim, studded with imitation pearls. Her full underskirt and undersleeves are of a gold patterned brocade and a red jewel hangs from her waist, on a chain. 


Her famous letter 'B' pendant hangs upon the front of her boned bodice. She wears a pearl trimmed French hood upon her head. Her face has been fully repainted to represent the Queen and her hair has been specifically styled from new material.
Her turned back sleeves are lined with red taffeta. 
She is strung using traditional Pelham colours on a refurnished controller.
