The workshop-studio MEZHOV from St. Petersburg specializes in the decorative design of various types of edged weapons in a gift version. The tradition of decorating weapons with precious stones, mother-of-pearl, gold and silver has its roots in the mists of time. This tradition is alive to this day. Currently, there are quite a few companies that are engaged in the artistic decoration of weapons. Not so long ago, an exhibition of such weapons was held in the Hermitage, in which the Mezhov studio also took part.
In addition to its main specialization, the workshop is engaged in stone-cutting works. I would like to show you the floral and berry compositions made by the stone cutters of the Mezhov studio.
