Description
A collection of decorative wooden items comprising a set of hand-painted nesting dolls and a set of nesting bentwood boxes. The wooden nesting dolls feature a Noah’s Ark theme, with the largest figure representing a bearded man holding a miniature ark, followed by dolls depicting pairs of giraffes, elephants, and a zebra, and a small doll showing a bird with an olive branch. The circular nesting boxes are crafted in a Shaker-inspired style, featuring bentwood sides with distinctive swallowtail joints secured by copper tacks. The boxes are finished in a range of colors including slate blue, dark brown, pale yellow, and forest green, with natural wood interiors. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on any of the pieces.
Condition report:
The items are in good condition with minor surface wear and light edge scuffs consistent with age and handling. The painted surfaces on the dolls remain clear and well-preserved.
