The Dowager Empress Cixi
The Dowager Empress Cixi (1835-1908) was a Manchu Noblewoman who controlled the government during the latter decades of the Qing Dynasty as regent from 1861 until her death in 1912. She was succeeded by the future emperor Pu Yi, who, while still a small child of just two years old, was personally chosen by the Dowager Empress herself to sit on the Dragon Throne.
Our revised King & Country Dowager Empress can be seen relaxing somewhere in The Forbidden City, with one of her favourite Imperial Pekinese dogs resting on her lap. By her side is one of her many courtiers bringing her some important information.
‘AT THE COURT OF THE DOWAGER EMPRESS’
In recent years there has been increasing interest among many of our collectors in China for K&C items and figures connected to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) the last imperial dynasty to rule over this vast multi ethnic country for nearly three centuries. Much of this interest is focused on the final turbulent decades before the rise of the modern republic. During that time, the Dowager Empress Cixi was the power behind the throne, wielding immense influence among the many competing factions struggling to rule this huge nation.
Because of this growing fascination K&C is happy to reissue a select collection (with some revisions and improvements) to this original and unique series.
Due to be released in JULY 2026.
