The Pierotti family were wax modellers of Italian descent living in London from the late 1700s. They used the poured wax method to create dolls. They used glass eyes and real human hair in the creation of their intricately crafted dolls. The family produced dolls throughout the 19th century.
Many of the dolls they produced were portraits of royalty such as the Duke and Duchess of York in 1898 before they became King George V and Queen Mary.
