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!
