About Our Babushka Matryoshka Nesting Dolls
Matryoshka — known worldwide as Babushka dolls — are Russia’s most iconic handcrafted wooden dolls, treasured for over 130 years as gifts, collector’s pieces and family keepsakes. The name comes from Matryona, symbolising motherhood and family, while “Babushka” (grandmother) is the familiar nickname.
At Dolls In Dolls, we take great care to understand and verify the origins of every Matryoshka doll we offer. Every doll we stock represents traditional Russian craftsmanship:
- ✔ Linden wood, typically dried for two to three years before carving
- ✔ Hand-turned on a lathe by a master craftsman
- ✔ Individually hand-painted by a skilled artist
- ✔ Finished with 3–5 layers of protective lacquer
Because every doll is handmade, each set has its own character — natural variations in wood grain, colour and painted detail make every piece genuinely unique.
SIGNED BY THE ARTIST
Every set is individually signed by the artist who painted it — a mark of authenticity you won’t find on mass-produced dolls.
What Makes Our Dolls Different
- ✔ Authentic Russian-made Matryoshka nesting dolls
- ✔ Non-toxic and eco-friendly materials
