The development of a theoretical concept of attribution of a museum object is one of the urgent problems of modern museology. Reception of attribution is considered as one of the stages of scientific research of a museum object, involving a comprehensive disclosure of the properties inherent in the object such as material, shape, size, manufacture, purpose, style, time and place of manufacture, author’s note, social and ethnic environment, historical and memorial significance. The theoretical substantiation of attribution, as an established form of purely practical museum activity, is unthinkable without referring to the historical retrospective of the issue. The article attempts to analyze the earliest experiences of attribution practice in the largest Russian museums of the 18th-19th centuries. As a subject area, the author refers to the collections of decorative and applied art.
