Exuding an air of regal festivity, the Mark Roberts King of Hearts Fairy stands proud at 15.5 inches, embodying the splendor and romance of the holiday season. This striking fairy is adorned in rich, velvety reds and glittering golds, evoking the warmth of hearth and home amid winter’s chill. Dressed in a magnificent outfit, the fairy’s plush red cape and tunic sparkle with intricate beadwork and delicate lace, while a profusion of bows and ornaments add layers of opulent charm. The juxtaposition of vibrant colors and exquisite details exemplifies the essence of holiday grandeur.
The King of Hearts Fairy's wings, reminiscent of a delicate frost pattern, shimmer with a soft luminescence, providing an ethereal contrast to the deep hues of its attire. Clasped in one hand is a scepter adorned with heart-shaped ornaments and ribbons, symbolizing love and affection during the festive season. The fairy’s expression is one of benevolent joy, with twinkling eyes behind bespoke glasses and a splendidly groomed beard, radiating a sense of royal cheer. The tall, pointed hat, adorned with golden accents and a cascade of hearts, crowns the fairy, completing its look of majestic enchantment.
The concept of a "King of Hearts" has intriguing roots in folklore and symbolism. In playing card traditions, the King of Hearts is often depicted as a noble ruler, sometimes referred to as the “suicide king” for the mysterious illustration where he appears to be sticking a sword through his head in some classic decks, which could symbolize noble sacrifice or bravery. However, in the context of the holiday season, this fairy emanates positivity, reflecting themes of love and leadership. Collectors and admirers of Mark Roberts' creations will find the King of Hearts Fairy a delightful addition, blending magic, merriment, and a touch of royal elegance in a captivating display piece.
