This magnificent 6.5” x 5” lacquer box hails from Fedoskino, Russia’s most prestigious miniature painting school, and is signed and dated by artist Mironov V., completed in the year 2000. The scene—likely inspired by a Pushkin tale or Slavic folklore—depicts a royal court in full regalia as a Tsar receives a gift from a noble maiden, flanked by courtiers, attendants, and a treasure chest spilling gold. Set beneath gothic arches and painted in meticulous oil brushwork, the figures shimmer with dimensionality. A standout detail is the shimmering inlay at the center of the composition—possibly mother-of-pearl—adding an iridescent glow to the gift being presented. This technique, used primarily in Fedoskino, sets this piece apart from Palekh and Kholuy styles, where tempera is more common. The surface exhibits a traditional crackle finish, a desirable feature in older Fedoskino boxes, enhancing the patina and confirming age authenticity. ⸻ Dimensions: 6.5” wide x 5” high Condition: Excellent vintage condition with very light surface wear; displays beautifully.
