A charming hand-painted black lacquer box decorated with a delicate spray of white daisies and a green butterfly, set against a smooth dark ground. The floral design—fine brushwork with soft shading, naturalistic leaves and dotted yellow centres—is typical of Russian and Eastern European decorative lacquerwork, blending folk motifs with elegant presentation.
The interior is finished in a vibrant orange-red lacquer, creating a striking contrast when opened. The long rectangular form (30cm) makes it ideal for storing artist’s brushes, pens, sewing tools or keepsakes. Lightly domed at the top and subtly rounded along the edges, the box has an appealing tactile quality.
A decorative and practical piece with lovely age and character—perfect for a writing desk, craft room, or as part of a collection of world folk art and lacquerware.
