The \u003cstrong\u003emother-of-pearl background\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the image different reflections depending on the light and emphasizes the \u003cstrong\u003espiritual and historical significance of the monastery\u003c\/strong\u003e. The finely detailed church domes, architectural features, and balanced composition make this box a high-quality example of Russian miniature painting with a religious motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box is made of \u003cstrong\u003etraditional papier-mâché\u003c\/strong\u003e, built up in several layers, pressed, dried, sanded, and primed before the motif is applied by hand. The entire scene is painted on mother-of-pearl, which is then sealed with several layers of clear lacquer, creating a high-gloss, permanently protected surface. With compact dimensions of 9.7 x 8.0 x 3.2 cm (length x width x height), the lacquer box is ideal for storing jewelry, small keepsakes, or religious symbols and fits perfectly on a sideboard, desk, or in a display cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe underside of the box is inscribed in Cyrillic with “Trinity Monastery” and “Smirnova,” clearly documenting the motif title and the artist’s name. The origin \u003cstrong\u003eFedoskino\u003c\/strong\u003e stands for one of the \u003cstrong\u003emost renowned schools of Russian lacquer art,\u003c\/strong\u003e known for precise line work, nuanced coloring, and the use of mother-of-pearl inlays. The clearly legible signature and motif description are important criteria for collectors of Russian lacquer painting to assess authenticity, quality, and classification within the Fedoskino tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the Russian lacquer box impresses with a precisely fitting lid, neatly lacquered edges, and a uniform, deep dark base coat that optimally highlights the mother-of-pearl shine and architectural details of the Trinity Monastery. The interior surfaces are traditionally painted red, creating a smooth, easy-care surface on which small items can rest securely. The sturdy papier-mâché body, multi-layer lacquer finish, and careful polishing ensure that the box is both suitable for everyday use and worthy of collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003ecollectors of Russian art\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003elovers of Orthodox architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e, and anyone looking for a special Russian gift with clear provenance and a signed artist. With the combination of the mother-of-pearl base, the depiction of the Trinity Monastery, and the signed work by Smirnova, this lacquer box is a striking unique piece in any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vostok-World24","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53486097662295,"sku":"Fedo-06","price":56.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/1107\/5415\/files\/RussischeLackdoseFedoskino1.jpg?v=1778094276","url":"https:\/\/vostok-world24.com\/en\/products\/russische-schatulle-roter-platz-moskau-fedoskino-perlmutt-lackmalerei-handgemalt-kopie-1","provider":"Vostok-World24","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
