Vintage Russian Lacquer Box St Patrick Hand Painted Signed Miniature Trinket Box Palekh Style

Beautiful vintage Russian lacquer trinket box featuring a hand painted image of St Patrick in rich jewel-like colours against a traditional black lacquer ground with delicate gold foliate detailing.

This charming miniature box is painted in the style of traditional Russian lacquer miniature art associated with Palekh and Fedoskino inspired decorative work. The reverse retains its original “Made in Russia” label and appears hand signed to the base.

The interior is lined in vibrant red, creating a wonderful contrast against the glossy black exterior. A lovely decorative collector’s piece ideal for display, jewellery, rosary beads, keepsakes, or small treasured items.

A particularly appealing example due to the unusual St Patrick subject matter which blends Russian folk art craftsmanship with Irish religious iconography.
