Russian Palekh Lacquer Boxes Set of 3 + Large Lacquer Panel

Description

This collection includes three Russian lacquer miniature boxes and one large lacquer panel, all featuring hand-painted scenes from Russian folklore and fairy tales in the classic Palekh or Fedoskino tradition. The two small boxes display vibrant, finely detailed miniature paintings — one depicting a winter village gathering scene, the other a princess by moonlit water with castle backdrop — both in good to excellent condition with rich black lacquer exteriors. The large panel (approximately 9x12 inches) features an elaborate court scene with richly costumed figures in a forest setting; however, this piece has significant surface crazing and cracking to the lacquer, which substantially affects its display value though the underlying painting remains vivid. All pieces appear to be signed by the artists, a hallmark of authentic Russian lacquer work. The small boxes are ideal for collectors of Soviet-era folk art and would make wonderful display or gift pieces. The large panel may appeal to collectors seeking a restoration project or those who appreciate the artwork despite surface damage. Items will be carefully wrapped individually in bubble wrap and shipped in a double-boxed package to ensure safe arrival. International shipping available. Sold as a lot or inquire about individual pieces.
