Publisher's Synopsis
Arguably Russia's most famous art form, Russian enamels have survived Mongolian invasions, imperialist czars, and the violence of the Communist Revolution to thrive in present day Russia. They cane be found in many varieties including intricately encrusted Faberge eggs, icon frames, and colourful decorative spoons and bowls. The Russian enamel illustrations in this book are primarily in the style of the 19th to early 20th century designs from the Moscow region.
