Beautiful vintage hand-painted Russian lacquer box in a rare violin/mandolin form, decorated with a vibrant folk-tale scene. Features a golden stag, forest landscape, and figures in traditional dress in warm yellow, red, and green tones. Finished in classic high-gloss black lacquer with gold scroll accents.
Interior is bright red lacquer with molded compartments. Hinges function well. The piece displays beautifully and makes an excellent gift box, décor accent, or collector addition.
This box is unsigned and likely a mid-late 20th century studio piece produced for export. The painting quality is better than average tourist-grade work, with clean detailing and good color saturation.
