Abstract
The article is devoted to copper-cast plastic of the 18th – early 20th centuries. The subject of the study is the artistic enamel of the main centers of Old Believer art. The source base was the collection of the State Art Museum of the Altai Krai. Works from private collections are also used as auxiliary material. Comparative-historical and comparative-stylistic methods were used. The differences between the Old Believers' enamel and the Old Russian are described. The influence of some trends in jewelry art of the second half of the 19th century on the enamel work of Moscow Old Believers copper foundries has been established.
