Charlotte de Berry
A Legend from History

This doll is in the home of a private collector and is not available for sale or duplication
Charlotte was born in England in 1636. When her husband joined the navy, she disguised herself as a man and joined him on the sea. After a short time of happiness their ship was captured and her husband killed. She found herself forced aboard a ship bound for Africa, and was assaulted by the captain. De Berry led a mutiny, took over the vessel and beheaded the captain.
Under her command, the crew became pirates and cruised the African coast capturing gold ships

She's had a full facial re-paint with artist quality acrylics and sealer.
The sea mist has turned her hair into a wild mass of curls, and she wears the quintessential gold hoop in her ear.

Her cream tunic and burgundy breeches are of completely hand sewn 100% silk. She wears a laced brown leather vest, also hand sewn. Her black wide topped boots are hand pieced and fitted and may be worn turned up or down. Her hat, belt and scabbard are also of leather.

Her Cutlass is NOT a toy! - it was hand made of stainless steel by VKW (thank you hubby!) and is fully sharpened. It bears a leather a wire wrapped hilt. The hand guard is also of stainless steel (you should have HEARD him! The air was blue for DAYS!)

Her brass bound sea chest is filled with "gold nuggets" and "jewels"
