Kudrino wood carving

Unique carved pieces are created by artisans from the town of Khotkovo in the Moscow Region. Abramtsevo-Kudrino carving is a Russian folk art and craft tradition that originated in the late 19th century at the Abramtsevo estate in the Moscow Region.

The distinctive Kudrino style was largely created by workshop apprentice Vasily Vornoskov from the village of Kudrino. In his works, folk geometric patterns evolved into flowing, curly floral ornaments with branches, scrolls and rosettes.

Today, artisans in the Moscow Region preserve these centuries-old traditions. In their skilled hands, carved jewellery boxes, caskets, boxes and other pieces of rare beauty are created.
