Anne of Cleves
Inspired by Henry VIII’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, this decoration would add a splash or historic interest to any Christmas tree. The highly decorative figure is adorned with gold finish beads, lace and sparkly gold thread to give a regal appearance.
Anne of Cleves (1515 – 1557) was Queen of England from 6 January 1540 to 9 July 1540 as the fourth wife of King Henry VIII. The marriage was declared never consummated, and she was not crowned queen consort. Following the annulment of their marriage, Anne was given a generous settlement by the King, and thereafter referred to as the King's Beloved Sister. She lived to see the coronation of Queen Mary I, outliving the rest of Henry's wives.
Not to be given to children under 36 months.
