The art of Khokhloma originated
in the 17th century in the Volga-river region.
It is truly one of the most famous Russian folk
arts.
Khokhloma painting will amaze you
with its delicate floral pattern and festive
coloring. The colors are based on combination
of scarlet cinnabar and glittering gold usually
against the black lacquer background.
In the early 19th century
Khokhloma craftsmen made several innovations.
They started to gild not only parts but the
whole surface and covered their bowls and cups
with intricate grass painting. These
improvements brought much success and notoriety
to this folk craft.
The Khokhloma artists create an
unforgettable beauty of traditional Russian
wooden souvenirs. Articles with Khokhloma
ornamentation combine a range of valuable and
utilitarian properties. Please be sure to keep
your items dry and enjoy their beauty in your
home. A piece of beauty, always and everywhere!
