A Russian Hand Painted Papier Mâché Box, Signed, Circa 1920

This top quality Russian black lacquered papier mâché box has an extremely fine hand painted central panel to its lid with a medieval scene set amongst a landscape with a castle and ornate buildings alongside a lake with mountains in the distance and trees in the foreground with numerous female figures and a knight in armour on horseback. This fine pictorial panel has a delicate and intricate gilt foliate boarder with Russian titles around its perimeter.

The hinged lid opens to reveal a plain, bright red lacquered interior.

This box is in good original condition with a few very minor age related marks and losses to the black lacquer. There is no damage or faults on the finely painted panel.

After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.
