I have owned this beautiful nesting doll set since 1992. Petersburg (he still called it Leningrad) at a gun show in NY. It depicts the story of the Swan Princess, also known as the Tale of Tsar Saltan.

The largest doll is 8, she has 7 pieces total. It is made from Linden wood. I was not able through my research to identify the maker but it is signed. (see photos) After much searching I have not found one similar to this for sale anywhere.

It is well done and truly unique, nice detail and gold highlighting throughout. A fantastic addition to any nesting doll fan's collection. Tale of Tsar Saltan - The Swan Princess. Gvidon strolled out to the seashore until he was met by the white swan. Why so gloomy this time?

Gvidon said that he was sad because he did not have a wife. He related the tale he had heard of the beautiful princess whose beauty lit up the darkness, whose words flowed like a murmuring brook. The swan was silent for awhile, then said that there was such a princess. "But a wife, " the swan continued, is no glove that one can simply cast from one's hand. Gvidon said he understood but that he was prepared to walk the rest of his life and to all corners of the world to search for the wondrous princess.

At this, the swan sighed and said. There's no need to travel, There's no need to tire. The woman that you desire, Is now yours to spy.
