Company
Kapovaya Shkatulka LLC was founded in February 2011. The founders of the enterprise were Altynai Toleubekovna Rakhmetova (director) and Igor Mikhailovich Dolgikh (production manager), both graduates of the St. Petersburg Forestry Academy.
The process of preparing and processing burl material, passed on by craftsmen from generation to generation, has practically not changed. In the manufacture of various products, the master approaches his work creatively, but the main stages of preparation and production of caskets have remained unchanged since ancient times. As a result, the products of the masters of the last century differ little from the modern ones. This is the result that modern burl masters strive for, deliberately preserving the image of burl products as they existed for centuries, avoiding radical innovations.
In 2011, at a meeting of the Art and Expert Council on folk arts and crafts of the Kirov region, 24 samples of folk art products manufactured by Kapovaya Casket LLC were recommended for registration as products of recognized artistic merit. The package of documents formed (in accordance with the Decree of the Russian Federation No. 35 dated January 18, 2001) was sent to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation for an artistic examination by the Artistic Expert Council under the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
Enterprise "Kapovaya caskatulka" actively participates in various exhibitions and fairs. The products of the enterprise were awarded with diplomas and certificates of a number of prestigious exhibitions and fairs of folk arts and crafts of Russia:
