Physical description
Romeo, standing at 46cm in height is costumed in an ivory cream shirt, indigo blue doublet with gold cording trim and woollen leggings. At the waist of the doublet is a gold coloured woven belt with a faux garnet detail. His outfit is completed with genuine suede boots and a toque hat accented with a red plume.
Juliet:
Dressed in a robe a l'italienne crafted from scarlet red velvet with gold damask satin sleeves, the trims are of gold cording and brocade. The décollegette inside the bodice is ivory taffeta. Her hair is intertwined with gold thread and a circlet of faux pearls.
Both dolls have hand painted features and were commissioned to only be sold as a pair.
