Vintage Riverside Strollers Cigarette Box

3 AVAILABLE

This is a traditional hand-painted Russian lacquer box. These works of art are usually drawn with the aid of a magnifying glass and fine brushes made from the tail of a squirrel. The artists who do this extremely intricate work usually live in one of four small Russian villages - Fedoskino, Palekh, Kholui or Mstera. Each village has its own four year school where students learn the techniques of miniature painting and the unique style of the village. As these boxes are unique, hand-painted works of art, variations from one to the next are to be expected. Additionally, these items are vintage, and as such may have scratches or other signs of age. Please be aware of this if you choose to purchase these items. Overall they are in good vintage condition. Measures 3" x 3" x 1.5".
