Brand history

The story of our brand begins a long time ago in the heart of Russia... 

It was deep within the heart of Siberia, at the beginning of the 20th century, during a time when Russia was ruled by Tsar-Nicolay the Second (1868-1918), the last Russian Tsar, where a small workshop was built by the Russian master of art - Stephen Gulia. In his workshop he began creating and producing high quality goods such as houseware and home decor, also cups, glasses, vases, tapestries. Soon, word of mouth spread across Russia and the popularity and demand for these products became so large that even the Tsar began to hear rumors about them. In just a short time, this small, seemingly unknown workshop was providing families throughout Russia with the opportunity to obtain the highest in quality goods that soon transformed into unforgettable gifts and cherished family heirlooms that have been handed down from generation to generation for over a century. 

Unfortunately, during the revolution of 1917, Stephen Gulia and his family were forced to leave Russia and soon found themselves in Europe.  Gulia was working night and day just to help his family survive. He could no longer continue with the family business. Like many intelligent people of the time he was relegated to performing the simplest of duties such as maintenance work, home teaching . In Europe, Gulia found happiness only in the passing on of his knowledge and gift of craft to his children and his passion for painting on metal surfaces.                                                                                                

The secret knowledge of the craft continued to be handed down from generation to generation and now in the 21st century the craft has been resurrected. A descendant of Gulia has brought back the craft of creating luxury goods. First, in Russia and now spreading across the United States, Europe and Asia. Across the globe you can now see our unique and charming luxury goods in the offices of major corporations all the way down to the most valuable private collections.
