Why You’ll Love It
This instantly recognizable, extraordinary King Henry VIII marionette is a one-of-a-kind miniature treasure created by celebrated artisan Almudena Gonzalez and custom commissioned for Maureen's remarkable puppet maker's workshop collection. Designed as a true marionette for a dollhouse doll to manipulate and perform with.
The King features a hand-painted porcelain face complete with King Henry VIII's signature reddish-brown beard and mustache, topped with a traditional flat black Tudor hat lined with white trim. He is dressed in a regal, heavy Tudor-style doublet and open overcoat in deep burgundy. The outfit features luxurious faux-fur lapels, intricate gold lace borders, gold brocade epaulets on the shoulders, and decorative pink gemstones down the center torso simulating a royal chain of office. He is suspended by fine strings from a miniature wooden T-bar controller, perfectly proportioned to sit or stand within a dollhouse scene.
Perfect for a puppet theater, Tudor court scene, royal palace, historical vignette, miniature museum display, an old world nursery or playroom, or a collection of artisan marionettes and period characters.
