Robert Belcher Antiques

Description

This top quality Russian black lacquered papier mâché box has an extremely fine hand painted central panel to its lid with a medieval scene set amongst a landscape with a castle and ornate buildings alongside a lake with mountains in the distance and trees in the foreground with numerous female figures and a knight in armour on horseback. This fine pictorial panel has a delicate and intricate gilt foliate boarder with Russian titles around its perimeter.

The hinged lid opens to reveal a plain bright red lacquered interior.

This box is in good original condition with a few very minor age related marks and losses to the black lacquer. There is no damage or faults on the finely painted panel.
Russian, circa 1920

Height 4cm x width 20cm x depth 10cm
