Russian Enamel Designs (International Design Library)

Russian enamels have survived Mongolian invasions, imperialist czars, and the violence of the Communist Revolution to thrive in present day Russia. They can be found in many varieties including intricately encrusted Faberge eggs, icon frames, and colorful decorative spoons and bowls. The Russian enamel illustrations in this book are primarily in the style of the 19th to early 20th century designs from the Moscow region. All individual designs in the book may be used in any manner without permission with some minor limitations.
