About the Item

In this ad you get the chance to buy a beautiful hand-painted Russian lacquer box from the 1800s. It is cylindrical in shape, slightly curving inwards where box and lid meet. Hand-painted on the lid is the portrait of a philosopher who looks deeply sunken into thought. His facial expressions make you wonder if he might be in distress. Other than that the box is a saturated shiny black. This is a true rarity for your home. The object is in great condition and has neither been restored or modified. Measurements: Height: 4.1 cm Diameter: 11.9 cm.
