A fairy tale on a lacquer box
Fedoskino is a picturesque chronicle of Russian craft, embodied in every casket that the master's hand touches. Since 1795, the Fedoskino factory has not just created products — it has been creating a story in which every stroke of the brush, every layer of varnish, every shiny gold and silver particle comes to life on miniature canvases, reflecting the greatness and soul of Russia.
The secrets of creating papier-mache, passed down from master to master, have not changed, remaining true to the traditions and spirit of the past.
This amazing immutability of technology has become the basis for the success and durability of each product. Each casket passes through dozens of hands, taking shape before it becomes an object of art — a masterpiece polished to a mirror shine and coated with up to 30 layers of varnish.
A distinctive feature of the Fedoskin miniature is realism, achieved through complex multi—layered oil painting. Delicate reflections of gold leaf, silver, and mother-of-pearl are applied to this picturesque base, creating an effect of glow and depth. Each stroke becomes part of a majestic composition that comes to life in smooth transitions of light and shadow, emphasizing the finest details.
The collection of Fedoskino's works is the pride of public and private collections, and among them are unique jewelry boxes and New Year's balls that have won records and recognition at international exhibitions.
The Fedoskin miniature is not just a product, it is a symbol of the highest craftsmanship, which perpetuates traditions passed down from generation to generation, and opens up to everyone a new, unexplored depth of Russian art.
