Anne Beate Design is one of the oldest existing pixie-producing companies in Denmark. The company was established in 1963. The first 2 were “Girl with bell” and “Boy with sack” and even though they are more than 50 years old, they are still produced and sold today.
They have changed very little over the years and as pixies easily become several hundred years old – this is not as strange as it may sound. The Anne Beate Nisse is a small doll, not more than 11 cm tall. The delicate metal shoes guarantee that they are always well balanced for standing or sitting. This makes them very well suited for decoration. All parts of the doll is handmade and the face is of course hand painted. Every pixie is unique and each one has its own personality. An Anne Beate Nisse is a friend for life and therefore it is very important that you choose the right one.
