    Printed textiles and lace 17th – 20th century

    Printed textiles
        Long since in Russia knew a way of an ornament of textiles by means of carved wooden printed boards – “maners”. They became entirely from a wood, the pattern was cut from both parties. In a 17th century printed boards were very massive, the size of each of the board parties sometimes reached 50 cm. The big wooden board smeared with an oil paint, imposed from above the moistened canvas and roll by wooden battledore that the pattern was printed on a textiles. Such textiles was called as a printed textiles. In a 17th century printed textiles thanking their beauty and comparative cheapness were widely applied in a life of Russian people. From a printed textiles not only sewed textiles, but also banners, tents, curtains, church vestments.

        Samples of printed textiles of 17th century differ splendour of a vegetative ornament with difficult motives of fantastic colours, decorative leaves and stalks. Ease and grace of flower forms, thin cutting of details are inherent to printed textiles in 18th century. Conditionally the printed textiles ornament can be divided into two kinds. The elementary patterns of printed textiles represent a combination of simple geometrical elements - circles, daggers etc. Sometimes geometrical patterns alternated with vegetative motives - colours, berries, leaves.

    Lace

        Modern lacebraiding develops in the ancient glorified centres - Vologda, Elets, Sovetsk (the former large village of Kukarka), Mihaylov, Kirishi. Difficult and beautiful lacy patterns weave by manually bobbins in each of them with a traditional manner. The most decorative is the Vologda lace. The large thick pattern comes to light here a dense coiling white band. Large vegetative motives, sockets, ๒๐่๋่๑๒ํ่๊่, forming the most various compositions, appear on an easy grid of a background. The Elets lace differs by the big grace and ease. Strict simplicity of a pattern of the Kirov lace is it in common with Vologda one, and on ease and a subtlety of workings out it is similar to the Elets.

        Recently patterns began to be enriched by the background grid sated with ornamental motives. The colour lace of Mihayovsky district of the Ryazan region differs not only by the bright decorative effect, but also other technics of weaving. In finished articles the lace is combined with the Ryazan embroidery or pattern weaving. The particular interest represents a thin lace, ๘่๒๎ๅ a needle. It is made in the city of Kadome of the Ryazan region. A background diamond-shaped geometrical figures with sockets, asterisks, circles accurately appear on a small openwork of grid. These patterns led round by white threads and filled with small darning are perceived by a gentle white silhouette. The thin parity easy openwork a background to more dense white pattern gives to a lace special lightness and grace.
