Box (5) - Papier-mache

Splendid and rare lot consisting of 5 antique circular Russian lacquer boxes, made of lacquered papier-mâché, entirely hand-painted and signed by the artists of the famous Palekh and Kholuy miniature schools.
This lot includes a piece of great collectible interest: a commemorative box for the Moscow 1980 Olympics depicting sailing boats with the five-ring Olympic logo.
