{"product_id":"russische-palekh-lackschatulle-der-feuervogel-handgemalte-kunst","title":"Russian Palekh lacquer box \"The Firebird,\" hand-painted art","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003ehand-painted Russian lacquer box\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cstrong\u003ePalekh\u003c\/strong\u003e features an intricately designed motif from the Russian fairy tale world, “\u003cstrong\u003eThe Firebird – Жар‑Птица\u003c\/strong\u003e.” The scene is executed in the typical Palekh style: fine lines, vibrant colors, and golden accents on a dark background, giving the Firebird and surrounding figures an almost iconic effect. Thanks to the \u003cstrong\u003edetailed miniature painting\u003c\/strong\u003e, the box becomes a standalone artwork that combines Russian tradition and fairy tale motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box is made of high-quality papier-mâché, built up in several layers, pressed, carefully sanded, and primed. The motif is then hand-painted using traditional techniques before several layers of clear lacquer create a high-gloss, durable surface. Measuring 15.0 x 10.5 x 3.8 cm (length x width x height), the lacquer box offers enough space for jewelry, small collectibles, or personal keepsakes, while remaining compact enough for a display case, desk, or sideboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lid is inscribed in Cyrillic with “\u003cstrong\u003eThe Firebird\u003c\/strong\u003e” and the initials “K. V.”; the underside bears the markings “Palekh 2014” and “Kosov V.” These inscriptions clearly document the motif title, origin, and artist name V. Kosov, serving as an important authenticity feature for collectors of Russian lacquer art. The clear attribution to the Palekh painting school, dated 2014, helps stylistically place the piece within Russian miniature painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the Palekh box impresses with a precisely fitting lid, neatly lacquered edges, and an even, deep black base coat that optimally highlights the gold and color accents of the Firebird motif. The interior surfaces are typically coated with red lacquer, providing a smooth, easy-to-care-for surface that protects the contents from dust and scratches. The combination of a sturdy papier-mâché body, multilayer lacquer finish, and delicate miniature painting makes the box both robust and worthy of collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003ecollectors of Russian art\u003c\/strong\u003e, lovers of fairy tale motifs, and anyone seeking a special Russian gift with clear provenance and a signed artist’s work. With its blend of \u003cstrong\u003etraditional Palekh craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e, the iconic Firebird motif, and the signed work of V. Kosov, it is a striking unique piece in any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vostok-World24","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53485637730647,"sku":"Pale-01","price":55.74,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/1107\/5415\/files\/RussischeLackmalereiFeuervogelPalekh.jpg?v=1778085424","url":"https:\/\/vostok-world24.com\/en\/products\/russische-palekh-lackschatulle-der-feuervogel-handgemalte-kunst","provider":"Vostok-World24","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
