| Russian dolls, 3 in 1 set. The height of the main
doll is 7.5 cm (3’).
This set of Russian dolls is made in a paunchy shape incorporating
a Khokhloma pattern style. Khokhloma is an ancient Russian craft
style dating from the 17th Century in the Nizhniy Novgorod region
and is one of the most recognized forms of Russian decorative painting.
The style is often seen on wooden dishes, spoons and boxes as well
as on furniture. It is created using black and red (sometimes also
green) colours on a golden background. Traditional elements of Khokhloma
design are juicy red berries and wild strawberries as well as flowers
and leaves. The dolls have pretty faces with long eyelashes and
small mouths with full lips.
As all our Russian dolls are hand painted 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.
