AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A stunning example of authentic Russian folk art, this oval-shaped lacquer box originates from the famous village of Palekh. The lid features an exquisite, hand-painted scene of a traditional Russian "Troika" (a three-horse carriage) racing through a snowy landscape.
The artwork is executed in fine egg tempera with intricate gold leaf detailing (typical Palekh "probela" technique) on a rich burgundy-red background speckled with gold "snow" dust. The interior is finished with a deep black lacquer.
The piece is signed and dated in the lower right corner: "Palekh, 1927".
Key Features:
Origin: Palekh, USSR/Russia.
Technique: Hand-painted tempera on papier-mâché, layered with high-gloss lacquer and gold leaf.
Subject: Traditional Winter Troika.
Dimensions: 14 x 7.7 x 4.5 cm.
Condition: Good vintage/antique condition with minor signs of age-related wear, which add to its authenticity.
An excellent addition to any collection of fine lacquerware or Russian art.
