Khokhloma items are practical and always make an ideal gift. Golden Khokhloma is an original Russian folk craft, famous for its painted wooden utensils. The craft was born in the late 17th century, taking its name from the large trading village of Khokhloma. Based on centuries of experience, the masters of handicrafts have developed an unprecedented and still unrivaled technique of gilding wooden utensils without real gold. While the method has remained the same, the ornamental patterns and artistic subjects are constantly evolving. Gracefully austere in form, yet rich in decoration, these articles are genuine works of art!
