Black Gold: Russian Lacquer from the 18th -20th Centuries
The Russian History Museum is delighted to share "Black Gold: Russian Lacquer from the 18th -20th Centuries." This lecture was presented by Nick Nicholson, a specialist in Russian decorative arts.
This talk considers a variety of lacquer objects and connects the audience to the century-spanning art form's layered history. Join Nick for a look at the world of Russian lacquer that existed before the revolution, and the lacquer work we now know from the Soviet and present-day lacquer centers of Palekh and Mstsera.

Wonderful lecture! I learned a lot.
Good lecture. Interesting how Faberge silverwork was placed atop lacquer. I have four Palekh boxes, one of which I got in St. Petersburg at the Stieglitz Museum of Decorative and Applied Arts. Others I got on eBay from Russian sources -- Firebird, a troika and scene of the city of Suzdal. My little collection. Now I have to go smell my boxes to see if they have that special smell Nick talked about.
