Monarchy Toy In Research from Tate Family *RESEARCH ONGOING*

Monarchy Toy In Research from Tate Family

We are in process of researching this toy which belonged to the Tate Family for generations.  Its oral history is that it ties into a Bartholomew Fair from London and was a gift.

Another angle on the family story is that it was a Monarchy toy via a German worker.  -Circa 16th Century.

We note the old and ornate bed headboards and footboards.  They and most of the toy is baked clay.

We note the finely spun angel hair style pillow, possibly a nod to the Bartholomew Fair of London.  It was originally a cloth fair.

We are researching, but feel free to chime in and help– toys@antiquetoys.com
