Matryoshka Semionov

Ussr 1970, material wood, cm height 15

A beautiful seven-piece wooden Matryoshka from 1970s Russia carries the original "USSR" stamp on its base, marking it as a genuine vintage treasure.
Hand-painted with care, this set reflects the rich tradition of Russian nesting dolls, especially those from Semionov, a small town near Nizhny Novgorod famous for its artistic craftsmanship.
Semionov dolls are known for their elongated, graceful shapes, vibrant colors, and intricate designs reminiscent of ancient Trans-Volga art.
The bright red floral apron, a signature feature, evokes the charm of Russian folk culture and even recalls the voluptuous forms of Paleolithic Venus figurines.
This Matryoshka is more than a collectible—it is a miniature piece of Russian heritage, preserving a legacy of artistry and tradition.
