Description

Russian Pyrography Nesting Dolls Set of 10 Hand Painted Gold

Impressive 10-piece Russian matryoshka nesting doll set, hand-crafted from wood and decorated using a combination of pyrography (wood-burning), hand painting, and gold accents. This set stands out for its finely detailed architectural scenes, depicting what appear to be traditional Russian Orthodox churches with onion domes, rendered in rich burned tones and highlighted with metallic gold elements. The reverse sides feature cohesive floral motifs, adding balance and visual appeal throughout the entire set.

Likely originating from a Sergiev Posad-style workshop, this example reflects a more intricate and less common approach compared to standard painted dolls. Each piece nests smoothly within the next, showcasing skilled craftsmanship and careful attention to detail. A complete 10-doll set is particularly desirable, making this both a decorative statement and a collectible example of Russian folk art.

Condition:
Excellent condition with no remarkable damage. Surfaces are clean, and the hand-painted and burned details remain sharp and vibrant. No visible markings or signatures noted. Please review photos for full details.

Dimensions:
Largest: 10 x 4.5 inches diameter
Smallest: 0.75 x 0.25 inches diameter
