The reign of Queen Elizabeth 1st was a time of profound economic growth and empirical expansion for England. Elizabeth was known as "The Virgin Queen", for refusing to dilute her authority through marriage. She brought England forward into a new era now associated with icons such as William Shakespeare, Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Francis Drake.

Finished with a deep, rich Russet Brown and Palisander Cream colouring, this intricately crafted set of pieces has been cast from heavy crushed stone resin.
