Jewelry Boxes, Khokhloma
Here at the Russian Store we are always on the cutting edge of fashion so you can be too. Our collection of majestic and enchanting Khokhloma jewelry boxes are a bit of a throwback to a classic style with a modern twist. Khokhloma is something that is exclusively Russian. Since about the middle of the 17th century, artists in Russia have been painting soft woods with this heavy lacquer-like paint in order to give it a heavy, more sturdy appearance.
Khokhloma remained a mainstay of Russian folk art through the 18th century. However, in the 19th century, interest for this old art form began to fade. At the turn of the 20th century, Khokhloma was becoming rare in Russia even, but this soon changed. Around 1920, there was a massive Khokhloma revival movement as people began to seize the means of production in the post-revolution Russia.
Today the age-old tradition of making Khokhloma is still going strong in Russia. Our buyers work with local artist from the town of Semyonov to ensure that our customers get only the very best Khokhloma that the world has to offer. It is in this Russian town of nearly 30,000 people that all of out Khokhloma jewelry boxes come from. Each is given extreme attention to detail so you can rest assured that you are purchasing the very best. See for yourself today!
