A vintage black lacquered Russian box painted by the Russian Collection, artist I. Zayakina, circa 1994. The Fedoskino Style miniature is an exquisite landscape scene. Trimmed with beautiful gilt floral bordering. The interior with hinged lid is solid dark red, creating a rich quality item. This piece measures 5 1/4” l x 3” w x 1 3/4” d and is in good condition, some light scratches on bottom. Made in Russia signed on bottom.
FYI: The art of lacquered miniatures is several millennia old, arriving in Russia during the 18 Century. Since then Russian lacquered articles have won a place for themselves in world culture. The miniature works of Fedoskino artists are in private collections and Museums around the World.
