Antique Russian Lacquered Box with Hand Painted Top

About the Item

This antique wooden box is unmarked and unsigned, but believed to have been made in Russia in circa 1890. The top of the box portrays a vignette of a shore scene where several men in a small boat pay a visit to several women on the shore. The entire box is painted in a base coat of glossy black, and the inside is painted in a deep red tone. Some of the lacquer across the top of the box shows some age by Virtue of an 'alligator' finish. The hinges of the box are very sturdy and the box opens and closes as intended.
