Erika Cattelani's Amazing Hand-Carved Wooden Dolls

Just received in our first shipment of Erika Catellani Dolls direct from Switzerland.  There was a total of nine (9) dolls in the shipment ranging from 6 - 10 inches in height.

These intricately designed dolls are hand-carved out of the finest maple wood and then Erika handpaints their cherubic little faces and their fingernails.  Each outfit is handmade as well and most contain either embroidery or smocking or both.

These heirloom-like collectible dolls each come from a very small limited edition which usually is 20 pieces.  (Clara, incidentally, is the #2 of an edition of only 6 dolls worldwide!)

10 inch dolls include:

1. Bianca
2. Elisa
3. Victoria
4. Heidi

8 inch dolls include:

1. Clara
2. Lina

6 inch dolls include:

1. Ella
2. Tina
3. Marie

We are so excited to get the opportunity to be an Erika Catellani retailer.  These very detailed collectable dolls definitely have the WOW factor.  Their stock photos are nice, but to see them in person is a different story.  If you look very closely, you can see the patterns in the wood itself which is pretty remarkable.

We have read that Erika has been referred to as a "modern day Geppetto" for her woodcarving skills.  She has won the coveted Eurodoll several years in a row.

Each of these dolls should truly be categorized as an heirloom to be passed down from doll collector to doll collector as time passes.
