What London actually sells
Covent Garden stalls, museum shops and the Portobello Road antique trade all carry nesting dolls. The museum and antique stock is often genuinely old, Soviet-era tourist production, sound but variable. The street stalls are printed imports. New hand-painted linden work is the gap, and it is the gap we fill.
Delivery to London addresses
Orders leave Kyiv within one to two business days and reach London postcodes in seven to fourteen business days, handed to Royal Mail for final delivery. The UK is outside the EU customs union, so any import VAT HMRC applies is settled on delivery; shipping itself is included and insured.
What London buyers order
Large collector sets, 10, 15 and 20 pieces, sell far above their share into London, along with blank linden sets bought by the city's craft studios and art schools.
Customs, VAT and import charges
Parcels are declared honestly as wooden handicrafts at the price you paid. Any import VAT or duty your own customs office applies is settled by you on delivery, and we can neither predict nor refund it.
