Vintage Costume Dolls by Peggy Nisbet Yeoman Warder Beefeater

Peggy Nisbet's costume dolls, such as the Yeoman Warder (commonly known as a Beefeater), were part of her highly collectible series of dolls representing British historical figures, royalty, and traditional costumes. Peggy Nisbet, a British dollmaker, began producing her costume dolls in the late 1950s in Southport, England. Her dolls were celebrated for their detailed outfits that represented historical accuracy and cultural tradition. The Yeoman Warder doll features a bright red tunic adorned with gold braiding and insignia, closely mimicking the traditional ceremonial dress of the Beefeaters who guard the Tower of London. The Yeoman Warder doll likely dates to the 1960s or 1970s, which was a peak production period for Peggy Nisbet dolls.
