In 1770 Domenico Pierotti brought his family to London from northern Italy to sell dolls. His sons Henry and Giovanni continued the business, making the Pierotti name famous. The last Pierotti wax doll maker was Charles. He made this figure of King Edward VII dressed in uniform at the time of his Coronation. The figure has a wax head, hands and feet, with glass eyes and mohair hair, beard and eyebrows. The body is filled with sawdust.
