This book introduces the reader to the history of Russian chest making and the technical and artistic aspects of their creation. Particular attention is paid to the distinctive character of Russian chests and the unique style. Separate chapters are devoted to the traditions of significant craft centers: Moscow, Veliky Novgorod, Kholmogory and Veliky Ustyug, Nizhny Tagil and Nevyansk, the Murom district of Vladimir province, Makaryev, and Vyatka. Rich illustrative material from museum collections and private collections allows one to trace the artistic diversity of Russian chest making. The publication includes a section on the current state of the craft (using products from the Gorodets factory as an example).

This book is intended for specialists in the history of Russian folk art, designers, artists, and a wide range of readers interested in the history of Russian everyday life and folk culture.
