Rare Complete Set Of 15 Russian USSR Paper Mache Dolls Years Tree Toys 1954
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:1183280 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Russian Federation |
This is an incredibly rare and beautiful set of 15 Russian/Soviet Union regional paper mache accented, hand painted wood dolls from 1954. The original box is included.
It can be hard to find these dolls on an individual basis, yet alone in a complete set in such an excellent condition.
They are beautifully hand painted and detailed, and on the base of each figure a paper label is glued with the re...gion/republic the doll represents written in the Cyrillic alphabet.
They each measure approximately 3 1/2" tall.
These are considered New Year's Tree toys as decorating a New Year's Day tree was the tradition versus having a Christmas tree every year.
The dolls are in wonderful condition and each has it's own hand created unique look and design.
The storage box has some tape reinforcement along each corner, has a few pen marks on the front, and in general shows average expected wear for it's age. The box measures 14" x 8" x 2 1/2".
Inside the box are 2 slanted tiers that the dolls rest on while inside.
Please refer to the photos for more on condition of the dolls.
As they stood in 1954, I believe the 15 republics represented are:
1. Armenia2. Azerbaijan3. Byelorussia4. Estonia5. Georgia6. Kazakhstan7. Kirghizia8. Latvia9. Lithuania10. Moldavia11. Russian SFSR12. Tajikistan13. Turkmenia14. Ukraine15. Uzbekistan
What a wonderful rare find this beautiful set is and it would be a great addition to anyone's collection!
