"Xenis dolls are made from a living organism. This blending of form and function, lifelike imagery stemming from a living source, raise the dolls above mass-marketed, mass-produced “toys.” Xenis continues their commitment to natural and sustainable materials."
For True Doll Lovers...
As Xenis is approaching its 30th anniversary, we will only be creating a modest number of our signature dolls per year but we will be introducing new and exciting limited editions and one-of-a-kind dolls to add to our collection of sustainable, hand-crafted, wooden ball jointed dolls.
Our dolls are created from natural wood & made with loving hands, which is a very special facet of the Xenis world of dolls. They spring from a natural, organic source. The conversion from maple wood to breathtaking doll artistry is simply amazing. The dolls are wonders to behold — bridging the gap from time-honored tradition to contemporary stylings.
Our newest designs !
Snow White Vignette
This limited edition Snow White stands 23” tall and is carved from solid maple hardwood. Her hand painted face and shoes compliment her long dark Mohair wig. Mounted on a weighted base, Snow White is dressed in Dupionni Silk & Chiffon.
She holds a simulated marionette "Evil Witch" who stands 7” tall. Her sculpted face, hands and shoes are hand painted.
The backdrop (available separately) is a 27" tall x 36" wide, high quality Giclee digital print on canvas.
Limited Edition 5 pieces.
Tiny Angel
Our newest, and sweetest, little Angel strands 9” tall. Her face is hand painted and Angel is wearing a lace trimmed Swiss Batiste dress with a halo of tiny flowers in her Mohair wig. Her hand carved wings are made from resin.

"....a very special facet of the Xenis world of dolls. They spring from a natural, organic source. Just as they replicate life — so many of the Xenis dolls are portraits of recognizable, real people — they are made from a living organism. This blending of form and function, lifelike imagery stemming from a living source, raise the dolls above mass-marketed, mass-produced “toys.”

"For anyone looking to broaden their existing collection - or starting to collect- I believe wood will continue to have a special place.... It may not be large , but it is an extension of the woodcarver's art. Xenis' work in this field is especially worth collecting ..."
