King & Country Soldiers AE101 Cleopatra's Sedan Chair Set. This being the third rendition of this Egyptian Queen by King & Country it portrays the lady in a typically regal pose perched on her Sedan Chair which is again being carried by 4 Nubian slaves.

Cleopatra's sedan chair, a luxurious mode of transport in ancient times, was an elegant and ornate chair designed for the comfort of royalty and noble figures. Sedan chairs, also known as lectica or gestatoria, were widely used in various cultures, including ancient Egypt.

Historical records suggest that Cleopatra, the famed Queen of Egypt, utilized sedan chairs to move around the royal palaces and cities. These portable thrones were carried by servants or slaves, allowing Cleopatra to travel without the constraints of walking, especially in public or ceremonial settings.

The design of Cleopatra's sedan chair likely reflected the opulence of her reign, adorned with intricate carvings, precious metals, and lavish fabrics. While specific details about Cleopatra's sedan chair are scarce, its existence symbolizes the wealth and grandeur of ancient Egyptian royalty.

Although sedans chairs were prevalent in ancient times, they gradually fell out of use with the advent of more advanced modes of transportation. Nevertheless, the legacy of Cleopatra's sedan chair endures as a testament to the extravagant lifestyle of one of history's most legendary figures.

In more modern times King & Country helps tell the story of The First World War and the battles and campaigns in both the Middle East and the Western Front. Following the end of that War we also explore in miniature the people and personalities that led to the terrible rise of The Third Reich in our Berlin '38 series. That inevitably leads on to The Second World War itself...No other toy soldier company has designed or produced as many or as varied a selection of WW2 military and civilian figures, fighting AE079nd accessories as King & Country! From the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 until the Fall of Berlin in May 1945 we tell the story in authentic, hand-made detail.

As the real war raged across the globe K&C also reproduces the troops, tanks and many other items that replicates the battles and campaigns fought in Europe... The Pacific... North Africa and Russia. More recent decades' history can be seen in our relatively new Arab / Israeli conflict and Vietnam War series. On a lighter note, K&C also produces several non-military 'civilian' ranges that attract both male and female collectors...
