Vintage Palekh Russian Lacquer Box Hand Painted Signed Fairy Tale USSR Folk Art

Description

This beautiful vintage Russian lacquer trinket box features an intricately hand-painted miniature illustration of a traditional Slavic folk scene on the lid.

The scene vividly captures a male figure seated in a stylized swan-shaped boat interacting with a female figure standing on the riverbank, set against classic architecture and lush forest trees. Handcrafted and signed by the artist, this piece represents the famous lacquer miniature tradition. The interior is finished in a striking, classic red glaze.
