The “Golden Age” of Russian lacquer art began after 1819, when the factory was inherited by Korobov's son-in-law Piotr Lukutin and then by his son Alexander Lukutin. The originality and high quality achieved by the Fedoskino masters were such that Lukutin was given the honour of placing his own initials on the products alongside the Russian coat of arms. Meanwhile, the factory was already employing as many as a hundred lacquer artists. In addition, the factory had its own training centre where local peasants were trained and a museum with lacquer miniatures from Braunschweig, painted porcelain and miniatures on ivory and metal. Click here and learn more about the history of Russian Lacquer Art!
