Costume Cavalcade
Original dolls by Teresa Thompson in authentic historical costumes.
With a lifelong interest and study of historic costume, Teresa Thompson has been producing hand made dolls since 1972 and in 1/12th scale since 1995.
The dolls are all original, made entirely by herself from her own sculptures and designs. They are made from fabric over a wire frame which allows them to be posed as you wish and will stand unaided. The heads are moulded to shape, with hand painted features. Their understated style helps them bring a scene to life without overpowering it.
Costumes are carefully researched and reproduced as accurately as possible within the constraints of their small size. The range of dolls on offer is extensive, covering Medieval, Tudor, Stuart, Georgian, Regency, Victorian, Edwardian, 20th Century and modern day styles and including not only a choice of lady and gentleman of the house, but a selection of children and full complement of staff for each period.
Commissions are also accepted for any character not listed. Most subjects are possible and a challenge is hard to resist.
