GEORGIAN

In the Georgian period there were some amazing excesses of costume, with vast hooped skirts and towering wigs. The problem with these in the dolls house context is fitting them in, so I have opted to portray the times when fashions were a little more restrained. The first of these is the period 1720-60, which has most of the attractions of the decorative style without the bulk, and the second is the period 1780-95, when fashions were simplifying with the influence of the French Revolution. As usual, the servants are suitable for either and all would suit the classic Georgian house or the slightly earlier Queen Anne.

This couple are in formal dress of the 1770's and were made to commission, but could be repeated a few times for £58 each

This was an interesting challenge - to make a figure sit upon a horse, without actually having one, hence the strange piece of cardboard. You can see him actually on his horse on the Gallery page. The figure had to be specially adapted for the pose and demonstrates that it can be done if you give me the appropriate measurements.

Commissions -

Lady's maid - a cross between Nancy and Charlotte

Lady based on Madame de Pompadour

French Naval Officer

Continuing the French theme here is Marie Antoinette

The style would equally well represent any lady, English or French, of the 1770's, though perhaps in different fabrics.
