| The size of the biggest doll is approx. 16.5 cm (approx. 6.6
inches), matt (or satin) finish. Moulds made from Linden tree, and
the high quality wood had to mature for two years before turned
on a lathe by a Russian wood turner in a village near Polkhov Maidan,
Russia
This set of Russian Matryoshka dolls arrived to us directly from
the artist working in the very heart of the Matryoshka region of
Russia, Sergiev Posad. It has its unique original authentic feel.
This is one of those sets, which are not a result of mass production.
It has been lovingly created by a talent of an individual artist
who adores her craft. You can see and feel that in every carefully
painted detail of these gorgeous dolls.
The set is of a traditional Matryoshka shape and has the most beautiful
and tender combination of colours. The main colour is light pink
with the frosted raised white sections which have snow flakes effect.
The head is beautifully decorated with authentic patterns. The white
raised dots continue their pattern to the back of the dolls as well.
There are pictures of winter landscape (or other seasons on other
sets) in the middle of each doll which are all different. The pictures
are very vivid and calming. They give a feel of crisp winter day
somewhere in Russia where air is so fresh and all worries are somewhere
else, far far away…
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.
