And the history of the Zhostovo craft goes back to the beginning of the 19th century, when in a number of villages near Moscow of the former Troitskaya volost (now the Mytishchi district of the Moscow region) - Zhostovo, Ostashkovo, Khlebnikovo, Troitsky - workshops arose for the production of painted lacquered items from papier-mâché. The main motif of Zhostovo painting is a flower bouquet. In the original art of Zhostovo masters, a realistic sense of the living form of flowers and fruits is combined with decorative generality, akin to Russian folk brush painting on chests, birch bark boxes, spinning wheels, etc. The bouquet was based on old developments of decorative flower arrangements with a set of garden and wildflowers (“assembled bouquet”, “spread bouquet”, garland, wreath.)
