Product description
This extraordinary, antique matryoshka doll likely dates from the first half of the 20th century. It consists of several hand-turned wooden figures, all of which are completely intact. The paintwork shows clear signs of age and use – it is precisely this patina that makes it such a special collector's item. This is not a modern reproduction, but an early model with traditional painting techniques, a matte finish, and hand-carved details. The figures still open and close, but exhibit age-related wear, paint loss, a small chip on the base, and drying cracks. Anyone who appreciates authentic, original folk art and genuine historical artifacts will find here a piece of craftsmanship steeped in history. ⸻ Details • Material: Hand-turned wood • Origin: Russia (folk art, traditional craftsmanship) • Painting: Hand-painted, original old layers of paint • Condition: Heavily aged, significant signs of wear, patina • Complete: All figures inside are present • Height of tallest figure: approx. 14 cm • Diameter: approx. 7 cm • Special features: Old patina, characteristic paint loss, historical design ⸻ Condition Please note: The matryoshka doll shows significant signs of age – scratches, chips, discoloration, drying cracks, and a damaged edge on the base. This is not a defect in the sense of a flaw, but rather typical of genuine historical pieces of this type. ⸻ Note Please view all pictures; they are part of the description. The item will be carefully packaged and shipped insured with a tracking number. I prefer DHL.
