Exquisite Vintage Russian Hand-Painted Lacquer Box | Traditional Folk Art

This unique, one-of-a-kind piece of Russian folk art is a stunning example of traditional lacquer miniature painting. Handcrafted from lightweight yet durable papier-mâché, the box has been meticulously painted and sealed with multiple layers of high-gloss lacquer, giving it a rich, smooth, and durable finish.

The lid features an intricate, detailed miniature painting, characteristic of the Palekh style, depicting a figure in traditional attire, a scene often drawn from Russian folklore or fairy tales. The artwork boasts vibrant colors, fine brushwork (often done with a single hair brush), and gilded accents that shimmer against the classic black background.

Authentic Russian Craftsmanship: Hand-painted in one of the traditional Russian art villages (likely Palekh).

Material: Made from genuine papier-mâché, ensuring longevity and resistance to warping.

Artistic Detail: Intricate, multi-layered miniature painting with gold ornamentation.
