| Made in the same factory and using the same colours as the traditional
'Semenov' Russian dolls, this 'Alyonka' set varies slightly in design
from her more famous sister but is still made with all the care
and attention expected from true Russian craftsmen.
Alyonka's design is more complex than 'Rossiyanochka' with more
detailed artwork applied to the headscarf and apron to create a
more intricate doll. One could almost say that this doll is a more
flamboyant development from the original design, requiring more
time to paint, yet still maintaining all the traditional elements
of the Semenov dolls.
The factory making these dolls has a strong ethical policy and
uses only organic paints during manufacture. Similarly, the varnish
used in the factory to create a glossy finish is specially made
so as not to contain any harmful chemical elements. These classic
dolls can be found in different section of our site; all made in
the original Semenov factory using the best traditions of Russian
craftsmanship.
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.
