This vintage black lacquer box is a unique piece that has been signed by the artist. The intricate design depicts a couple and lovely landscape scene, adding a touch of whimsy to any collection. The box is handcrafted and boasts a rich culture of Russian artistry. It's unual scene is certain to be a conversation starter. There is crazing to the vintage lacquered miniature painting. I'm not sure if this is Fedoskino or Palekh. The paint layer is definately expert level. This was aquired from an estate, so limited information is available. The pictures don't do it justice, it is a fantastic piece!
