$185. Each. Beautiful Rare & Unique Russian Lacquer Boxes Palekh Russian Art Painting School, "Tsar Saltan", Hand Painted, Papier Mache, Jewelry boxes. Lacquer boxes are among the most beautiful crafts of Russia in the 20th century. They are made of unusual material; it's not wood as it seems to be but papier-mâché. The boxes feature miniature paintings, the themes range from Russian landscapes selling to Fairy tales. The first lacquer boxes appeared in Russia in the 18th century but this art flourished in the 20th century after the Revolution. During the Soviet regime religion was not in favor any more and lots of former icon masters had to find a new job. Luckily many of them managed to apply their skills to a new form of art and were involved in painting traditional Russian souvenirs. It takes several months to make a box out of papier-mache. It appears that this material is more durable than wood, it can withstand changes in atmosphere and humidity and is unlikely to crack.
