In 1920, ANRI brought twelve statuettes by Charles Dickens onto the market intended for a new target group and exported to the USA. These three figurines in the Museum Gherdëina collection depict the bootblack Sam Weller and bourgeois Mr Pickwick and Mr Pecksniff. They could be older carved models for serial production.

Villa ANRI in St. Christina, now a listed building, newly built in 1925, was used as the headquarters of the ANRI company founded in 1921 by Anton Riffeser. For this purpose, workshops, offices, warehouses, packing and exhibition spaces were housed here. ANRI products were sold as far away as the USA and in its heyday, the company employed up to 230 people. Production was moved to premises at Plan Tiefa in 1952 and ceased in 2021.
