Zhostovo decorative painting factory has existed since 1825. The main motive of Zhostovo painting is a flower bouquet.
The history of the Zhostovo trade dates back to the beginning of the 19th century, when workshops for the production of painted lacquered products from papier-mâché appeared in a number of villages and villages of the former Troitsky volost (now Mytishchi district of the Moscow region) - Zhostovo, Ostashkovo, Khlebnikovo, Troitsky. The appearance of the Zhostovo painted tray is associated with the name of the Vishnyakov brothers.
The price list of the Vishnyakovs read: "The institution of the Vishnyakov brothers varnished metal trays, crackers, pallets, papier-mâché caskets, cigarette cases, teapots, albums and other things."
In the original art of Zhostovo masters, the realistic feeling of the living form of flowers and fruits is combined with a decorative generalization, akin to Russian folk brush painting on chests, birch bark dies, spinning wheels, etc. The bouquet was based on old designs of decorative flower arrangements with a set of garden-field flowers (“collected bouquet”, “bouquet in a wardrobe”, garland, wreath.)
