These Russian Lacquer Boxes are Amazing

They're absolutely the very finest available.

Russian Lacquer Boxes are made from an art form known as Papier-Mache, a type of cardboard that is made from layers of glued paper boiled in linseed oil and then carefully dried and primed.

These boxes are perhaps the most cherished and collected pieces of art from the 18th and 19th centuries, just as they are cherished and collected today. Please visit our Fedoskino and Palekh pages to see our complete collection of beautiful Russian Lacquer Boxes.

And, if you're a newcomer to this extraordinary art form, you'll be amazed when you learn that every line painted onto every lacquer box, every brush stroke, and every minute detail, is painstakingly done by hand by highly skilled artisans who have worked a lifetime to master this skill. Our Russian Lacquer boxes are truly the best there are, and we're confident you'll appreciate the level of quality provided by our Gallery.

Our pilgrimage to FEDOSKINO, a name representative of the entire artistry as well as the birthplace of the Lacquer Miniatures, was an extraordinary experience. We watched the artisans use brushes so fine, made out of a squirrel's tail, and using a magnifying glass to achieve perfection in the most intricate areas of their compositions.

Artists from FEDOSKINO have a more realistic style than the other villages, as seen in their portraits, figurative and landscape compositions. We are very proud to be able to offer these personally selected Russian Lacquer Boxes to you at very AFFORDABLE prices due to our DIRECT IMPORTING at our Gallery.

Our journey also took us to the village of PALEKH, which is probably the most recognizable name in Russian Lacquer Boxes. The village of Palekh specialized in icon-painting for centuries until the 1917 Russian revolution.

The beautiful fine lines of gold leaf that are applied are polished to a glow by a wolf's tooth. The mystery and soul of the Russian people are portrayed in the story-telling images of the PALEKH Boxes. We are equally proud to be able to offer these wonderful pieces of art, again, personally selected and AFFORDABLE prices due to our DIRECT IMPORTING to you at our Gallery now.

The authenticity of our Russian Lacquer Boxes is guaranteed!
