The art of producing hand-painted Matrioshkas began in 17th Century in Sergiev Posad, Russia and later spread to Moscow, Semenovo, Polohov-maidan, Tver and other regions.
Matrioshka doll is unique gift coming from the hart of Russia, bearing a rich tradition and artist’s personal touch, your doll will be treasured for generations to come.

· Tips for opening and caring of Matrioshkas.
- Always open a doll by “breaking” it sideway as if you were breaking a stick.
- Hold it horizontally.
- Do not twist the doll as this can cause the paint to chip around the edges.
- Never pick it by the top part, since loose Matrioshka can drop down.
- Occasionally, fluctuations in humidity and temperature can affect doll’s fit. Heat can cause the lacquer to seal.
- To open it hold it between your palms and apply pressure: you will hear a small pop as the lacquer seal releases.
- Display your dolls out of direct sunlight.
- Keep it clean from dust.
