10" x 8" Palekh Russian Lacquer Box C. 1958

Collectibles : Russian Lacquer Boxes

 

This is a the nicest Palekh Russian lacquer box that we have had the opportunity to offer. It measures a very large 10 x 8 inches and is signed and dated 1958. The painting is expertly done and indicative of the finest quality Palekh work of this era. As is typical, the box is signed with the artist's name which appear to be A. Banueb. It also has the village name and is dated 1958. The overall condition is excellent with no damage to the top of the box or painted area. There are a few small area of lacquer loss on the side that are not visible when viewed from atop but mentioned for accuracy. There is loss to the red lacquer on the interior of the box. The painting on the sides is elaborate and wonderfully done.

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a very large and impressive Palekh box that would be a centerpiece to a fine Russian lacquer box collection.
