Casket, Palekh "LEL", lacquer, hand-painted, Russia

Casket, Palekh "LEL", lacquer, hand-painted, Russia. Artist Guseva In.

A unique work of Russian masters of the late XVIII century. Externally, it is a small lacquered papier-mache box with a lid, which the artist paints with oil paints in several layers. A special feature of this box is-lacquer miniature painting, which fascinates with its truly intoxicating beauty and naturalness.

Painted lacquer boxes that store stories of fairy tales and ballads on their lids, three-dimensional landscapes and amazing ornaments created by hand by folk craftsmen have been known for several centuries not only to domestic connoisseurs of beauty, but also to any foreign collector.

The Palekh box is an integral part of decorative and applied art in General. Along with the development of ancient traditions, it carries a poetic vision of the world, typical of Russian folk tales and songs.

Palekh miniatures are written on boxes, boxes, plates, brooches, compact cases, and cigarette cases made of papier-mache. The distinctive features of the Palekh miniature are: miniature multi-brand writing, the General soft tone of the letter, the variety of composition elements and their picturesqueness, the patterning of the tent writing, the variety of rainbow lights. Palekh caskets are characterized by the writing of mountains with pointed bream, trees with natural foliage, elongation of figures, thinness of heads and naked parts of figures, gaps in paint (wide and light, with a sharp and very thin white border, and sometimes gold "in half-pours"), backgrounds of different tones (up to gold).

In good vintage condition.
