My Real Doll House

PINOCCHIO AND GEPPETTO
from the Xenis Collection

These dolls are made by the remarkably talented Xenis family.  The pictures are sensational but you should see the real thing.  The craftsmanship used in the creations of these exquisite dolls is outstanding.

Pinocchio is 16" tall and made of wood.  He has 13 moveable ball and spring joints.  He holds an 18 note music box inside which plays "The Magic Flute." You can see this music box through a window in his tummy. His appearance is reminiscent of the traditional European Pinocchio.  His outfit is made of natural fabrics.  He has a white linen shirt, a wool vest and hat, and suede shorts.  A dupioni silk bow tie completes his look.  His hands and feet are made of carved maple with a light stain. Only minimal washes of paint were used on his face so the beauty of the wood could be enjoyed.

Geppetto stands 24” in height. His head, hands and shoes are carved from Western maple and his body is made from basswood.  He has 13 moveable joints that can be positioned in a variety of ways. His shoes are stained to give them a rustic look. His hair is stained white and light washes of paint were used on his face to allow the beauty of the wood to show through. He is wearing a cream linen shirt, black wool pants, a jacquard cummerbund and a beautiful leather apron. He comes with a small wooden toolbox.
