Khokhloma Fridge Magnet
£1.99
Vintage handmade Khokhloma fridge magnet.
Khokhloma it’s a style of painting on wooden tableware and furniture; it can be recognised for its red and gold flower pattern on a dark background. The most popular themes of paintings are flowers, strawberries, branches of mountain ash, sometimes birds, fish, and animals giving you an impression of being painted with gold, but Khokhloma masters had an interesting secret of ‘gilding’. Dishes were rubbed with tin powder, coated with linseed oil, and heated in an oven. As a result of heat, the linseed oil turned yellow, and the tin started to shine like gold.
