Large Signed "Fedoskino School" Lacquer Box – "In the Marsh" by M. Larina
Elevate your collection with this exquisite, hand-painted Russian lacquer box from the world-renowned Fedoskino school. Hand-crafted from traditional papier-mâché, this large-scale piece features a naturalistic and finely detailed scene titled "На болоте" ("In the Marsh"). The artwork, attributed to the skilled artist M. Larina, captures two mallard ducks in mid-flight over an autumnal marshland, rendered in rich oil pigments with the classic layered depth for which Fedoskino is celebrated.
The box features a high-gloss black lacquer exterior with ornamental gold scrollwork and a vibrant, pristine red lacquered interior. The inner lid bears the hand-painted gold Cyrillic signature of the artist and the village of origin, confirming its authenticity as a genuine work of Russian folk art.
Dimensions:
4.5”w x 3.5”d x 1.5”h
Condition:
Excellent Vintage Condition. The high-gloss lacquer finish is exceptionally well-preserved with no visible crazing, cracks, or "alligatoring". The interior red lacquer and gold inscriptions are crisp and vibrant. The papier-mâché structure is sound, and the hinged lid operates smoothly. Minor surface wear to the base is consistent with age and careful display.
A museum-quality addition to any collection, this signed Fedoskino masterpiece offers a sophisticated blend of natural beauty and centuries-old Russian craftsmanship.
