Most art historians date back the origin of the Khokhloma painting style to the 17th century. The manufacturing utensils with peculiar decorative painting imitating gilding received the appellation of Khokhloma art from one of the villages where it originally had been practiced in ancient times. The Khokhloma style generally exhibits a combination of the red, gold, and black typical of the decorative painting of that region in late 17th century and first half of the 18th century. The three colors had a profound symbolism for decorating the sacred church vessels and the dishes and cups used in the monasteries and nunneries, as well as in icon ornaments.

The red color represented the beauty, the gold color symbolized the spiritual heavenly light, while the black color signified the cleansing of the human soul. The SEMENOV ornaments are akin to soulful Russian folk songs. The local artists as a group may be likened to an ensemble of solo performers whose voices are unique and easily recognizable but are joined together in a sweet melody.
