AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A highly refined and precious example of Russian lacquer belonging to the prestigious Palekh school, renowned for the extraordinary fineness of miniature details and the decorative use of gold.

The piece depicts a lively winter Troika, with three blazing horses galloping that pull a sled decorated with figures in traditional clothing. The painting stands out on a dark background adorned with wisps of clouds, while the perimeter of the lid is enclosed by a richly ornate gold frame of extraordinary craftsmanship.

At the bottom on the lid are visible the original inscriptions written in gold with very fine script:

On the left: Work number "N 12081" and the school "Палех" (Palekh)
On the right: Artist's signature "В. Лихманова" (V. Likhmanova) and the year "1979 г."

On the back of the rim: Golden inscription "Made in USSR" intended for export / foreign shops of the era.

Inside is still preserved the original certificate of origin printed with the indications of the Palekh workshop.
