The form derives from Russian folk furniture and was originally produced by Vasili Shutov (1826-1887) in 1870 for the All-Russian Manufacturing Exhibition in St. Petersburg. His iconic design came to embody the nostalgic Russian style, so appreciated by Emperor Alexander III, and remained popular for decades.
