Although the patterns and face of this Russian doll make her
instantly recognisable, the shape, design and colours differ slightly
from the classic Matryoshka to create a very distinctive and unique
7 piece set. Often copied, the Semenov Dolls that you find on our
website are all original and have arrived to us directly from Semenov
factory. You can buy with confidence knowing that these classical
Matryoshkas are the exact authentic dolls that were created and
presented to the world by the Semenov factory over 45 years ago.
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.
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
Russian doll 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. |
