Russian Lacquer Box: One Vintage, Elaborately Hand Painted Box From Mstera, One from Fedoskino of Magic Carpet and Firebird. 1.) Vintage Russian lacquer box from Mstera, a small 17th Century Russian settlement known for their unique artistic approach to their crafts and icons very much evoking the 15 and 16th centuries. Wonderful example here of folklore boasting incredible hand painted details of such precision and an unusual perspective through the window that impresses. Further, the hand painted gilt scroll work surrounding the image is unrivaled in this auction. Box, pre-owned and slightly used the lower right corner shows a small chip at corner tip outside of the border work that has been touched up as well as light surface scratches on base; all hardly visible. But the image itself is pristine, again a masterwork of astonishing detail and worthy of any collection. 1½ x 5½ x 7"
2.) Beautiful hand painted box rich in detail from Fedoskino of a fairy tale magic carpet with a firebird in a gilded cage. Box is unusually shaped and perfect for jewelry or keepsakes. Measures 1½ x 5 x 7" and mint. Estimated Value $400 - UP
