This metal tray is hand-painted in Zhostovo style, known since the 19th century. This style is characterized by a darker background with oil-painted flowers. The "Bouquet" Zhostovo tray is so realistic, bright and delicate at the same moment. Traditionally artists never copy the natural forms, though they know their structures and colour well.
The main peculiarity of painted flowers is splendour of colors. The artists combine reality and imagination. They create a bright and pageantry picture of individual with its own favourite themes, compositions and a kind of flower. After the tray is painted, it is covering by color-free lacquer and brilliant polishing.
This tray is unique: it is a personal artist's work, signed. We hope you enjoy this beautiful and graceful addition to your home décor!
