Beautifully Handcrafted Russian Dolls – Pyrography. The size
of the biggest doll is approx. 17 cm (approx. 6.8 inches). This
set was made by talented artists working in the very heart of the
Matryoshka region, Sergiev Posad, in Russia.
The set is of traditional Matryoshka shape is beautifully decorated
by highly skilled artists using a number of techniques. Very pretty
big pink flowers and other patterns run across them which make them
very feminine and tender. The patterns continue to the back of the
dolls as well.
As you can imagine from the quality of the dolls, there was a lot
of work and a number of high skilled techniques going into making
them. After preparing and polishing the moulds, made of Linden tree,
a process of pyrography was applied to the individual dolls. Pyrography
means "writing with fire" and is the traditional art of
using a heated tip or wire to burn designs onto natural materials
such as wood or leather. Varying the type of tip used, the temperature,
or the way the iron is applied to the material all create different
effects. (Source: Wikipedia)
This set of Russian dolls can be a nice addition to your collection
or a charming present for someone special.
As all our dolls are hand made by artists there may be variations
and differences between those pictured on our website and the ones
you will receive. Every doll is unique as artists tend to add something
different to each and every doll set they paint. That’s why Russian
dolls are somehow a reflection of a mood of the artist painting
it in that particular moment. Russian dolls, as in life itself, may
have their own features, characters, colours and moods and can be
truly unique to you.
All our Russian dolls are hollow inside (apart from the last, smallest
doll of each set), they all open in half and fit inside each other.
Please note that there may be some bright spots on the pictures of some Russian dolls on our website, resulting from photo camera flash and
lights. The actual Russian dolls that you will receive will not
have any of those spots.
