This Russian lacquer box "Dmitri Donskoi" from Fedoskino is a handcrafted art object of traditional Russian lacquer painting. On the lid is an impressive portrait of the Russian national hero Dmitri Donskoi, who ruled as Grand Prince of Moscow and Vladimir from 1359 to 1389. The finely detailed depiction gives this Russian casket a special historical and cultural significance, making it a high-quality collector’s item for lovers of Russian art and history.
Dmitri Donskoi is still regarded in Russia as an important historical figure. He became famous especially for his victory over the Golden Horde in the Battle of Kulikovo Field in 1380 near the Don River. His nickname "Donskoi" – meaning "of the Don" – derives from this historical event. The Russian Orthodox Church later canonized him. Thus, this Fedoskino casket combines exquisite craftsmanship with a motif of great historical significance.
The casket was made in traditional Russian craftsmanship from papier-mâché. This classic material is typical for high-quality Russian lacquer boxes from Fedoskino and forms the basis for the elaborately lacquered and hand-painted surface. The dark finish highlights the portrait particularly effectively and emphasizes the noble character of this handcrafted lacquer casket.
The lid is inscribed in Cyrillic with "Fedoskino", "Dmitri Donskoi", and "S. Andrijaki". The artist is named as S. Andrijaki. Originating from Fedoskino, one of the most renowned centers of Russian miniature and lacquer painting, this casket is especially attractive for collectors of authentic Russian craftsmanship.
With dimensions of 10.5 x 8.0 x 3.5 cm, this Russian papier-mâché casket is both compact and decorative. It is ideal for storing small jewelry, keepsakes, or as a stylish decorative object. Due to the historical portrait motif, it is also an exceptional gift for collectors, history enthusiasts, and lovers of Russian lacquer art.
This handcrafted Fedoskino lacquer box combines traditional Russian craftsmanship, artistic miniature painting, and a historically significant motif in a special collector’s piece. Anyone looking for an original Russian lacquer casket with historical relevance will find in this "Dmitri Donskoi" casket a high-quality and expressive work of art.
