Genuine Russian Dolls

Having worked in Moscow for 6 months in the past I purchased some genuine Russian dolls (matrioshka or nesting). These are not Polish or Chinese imitations, they are the genuine article. Beware of sites selling Russian 'style' dolls, they are worthless, poor quality and not Russian!

Made in Sergei Pasad on the outskirts of Moscow these dolls are of the highest quality of their type made from lime wood.

If you wish to purchase any of these dolls, contact me by e-mail at:
