This 15-piece hand-painted wooden Russian matryoshka set, featuring a Christmas theme, dates from 1970–1980.
Description from the seller
An exceptionally rare and very complete 15-piece Russian matryoshka nesting doll set in a charming Christmas theme. While most sets consist of just 3, 5, or 7 pieces, this set of no fewer than 15 nesting dolls is a true rarity and a wonderful collectible.
Each doll is hand-turned from high-quality wood and painted with great precision. The largest doll (Father Frost / Santa Claus) features a beautifully detailed, nostalgic winter scene on its front, complete with a winter cottage and pine trees. As the dolls get smaller, the distinctive wintry style is maintained, culminating in a tiny, meticulously painted figure.
The underside of the largest doll is hand-painted with the words “Made in Russia” and has protective felt pads. The set is in excellent, complete condition, with no damage to the wood or paint. A stunning festive-season centerpiece and a valuable addition for collectors of traditional Russian folk art.
The largest is 31 cm tall, and the smallest is 1 cm.
