This year, at the international Antiques Exhibition, along with magnificent icons, there are two other forms of art, typically Russian and very little known to us: embroidery on fabric with gold and silver threads - works of art of clearly aristocratic origin - and bone carving, as a type of folk art. All this is the first most important panorama of that artistic Russian landscape, which was hitherto unknown to us. And the Strozzi Palace Antiques Exhibition is proud that it is she who can offer its visitors this exceptional discovery.
