About the Item

Liberty of London "King Henry the VIII" historical doll . Hand-sewn by two sisters, Ada and Kathleen Peat, from their Brighton, England home for the Liberty of London Department Store. This historical doll has a needle sculpted face with hand painted facial features and mohair wig, mustache and beard. He is almost 11" tall with a very portly cloth body and black felt shoes. A wonderful authentic period costume of felt, cloth, jewels, beading and metallic trim. Unfortunately he is missing his cloth hands. He comes with a gray metal doll stand. Produced from the 1930s to the 1960s. These hand-crafted cloth dolls, along with accessories, depict the history of Great Britain from the caveman through Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation.” The dolls consist of history-making men and women, including royalty, political reformers, military notables, innovators in the arts, and contributors to natural and physical sciences. These hand-painted soft sculptured dolls are costumed in authentic period clothing and are highly collectible.
