About the Item

A finely crafted Russian hand-painted lacquer box, likely depicting a scene from Swan Lake. Rendered in the traditional Palekh style, the composition features graceful dancers, courtiers, and a central swan motif set within an opulent fairytale landscape of palaces, gardens, and flowing waters. The richly detailed painting shimmers with gilt highlights and vibrant jewel tones against a deep blue ground, framed by a delicate patterned border. Handmade from papier-mâché and finished in a high-gloss lacquer, this piece is signed by the artist in Cyrillic along the lower edge. Origin: Russia, Palekh School Materials: Papier-mâché, tempera, lacquer, gilt An exceptional example of Russian lacquer artistry, celebrating the elegance of Swan Lake and Russian cultural tradition.
