Four main schools of lacquer painting grew up, and these are named after the villages where they arose: Kholui, Palekh, Mstiora and Fedoskino. Kholui boxes are dynamic and colorful, Palekh boxes close to the old icon tradition, while those of Mstiora are more muted and 'creamy' in tine. These three styles use tempera paints: that is, paint mixed egg yolk. Fedoskino is closer to the classical oil-painting style, and uses mother-of-pearl, gold and silver leaf to give an inner glow to the picture. All schools produce brooches as well as boxes, which are highly wearable and make delightful gifts.
