 Kholui
Buy Kholui - quality that Russian Treasure store is known for.
Kholui, is a village situated
in 360 km north-east from
Moscow and known throughout
the world as a center of
papier-mâché lacquer
miniatures. It has been a
centre of Russian icon
painting since 16th century.
It is located on the banks of
the small but deep and fancily
winding Tesa River, to which
it owes its name. «Kholui» or
«kholuiniki», the name for
wattle fences, according to
Vladimir Dahl's Dictionary of
the Russian Language, were
used there for fishing.
Lacquer miniatures on
papier-mâché emerged as a new
trend in Russian decorative
and applied art, winning
recognition throughout the
world. Fedoskino, in which the
craft has been developing for
200 years now, is the
indisputable birthplace of
Russian lacquers. Kholui
started to evolve its own
style much later, when some of
its painters returned home
after long and fruitless
quests and wandering across
Russia. Inspired by the
accomplishments of Palekh and
Mstyora craftsmen, Kholui
painters Sergei Mokin,
Konstantin Kosterin, Dmitri
Dobrynin and Vassily
Puzanov-Molev formed an
association in 1934 to try
their hand in the new venture.
Icon painting school
graduates, they were all
talented professionals with
vast experience, but it took
Kholui painters a long time
and a lot of efforts to
develop their own style.
At the first conference held
in Kholui in 1959 on the
occasion of the association's
25th anniversary scholars, art
historians and critics, as
well as leading painters from
Palekh, Mstyora and Fedoskino,
discussed a current display of
over 200 exhibits and
unanimously pointed to the
accomplishments of Kholui
craftsmen. The general opinion
was that Kholui had developed
its own artistic traditions
and an inimitable image.
Objects of new shapes and
purposes appeared, and red,
green and cherry-colored
pieces were added to the
traditional black ones. Ever
since that time, Kholui became
known as a center of lacquer
miniatures and gained world
recognition.
