Product details
This is a simply exquisite hand painted wooden Russian lacquer trinket box produced in the village of Palekh famous for this form of folk art. It depicts a scene from a fairy tale and was clearly created by a skilled hand.
It is signed below the picture however due to slight rubbing to the signature it is difficult to read. With a bit of research I am sure you would be able to match it to the artist responsible for this magnificent little box.
It takes weeks to produce these boxes as the lacquer is applied in numerous layers and with it left to dry completely between each application. This box is black on the outside and red on the inside as was the custom.
It is in a very good condition with no damage to the box, hinges or the lacquer. The colours of the painting are clear and vibrant and the artwork incredibly detailed. It measures about 4.8 cm X 6.8 cm, and stands about 2.8 cm tall.
A beautiful and rare piece of Russian folk art that will delight and please you.
