A beautiful hand-painted black lacquer box featuring a spray of white daisies paired with a striking large golden butterfly, rendered with delicate veining and warm ochre tones. The floral work is finely executed, with soft shading, naturalistic stems and bright yellow centres—an elegant decorative style closely associated with Russian and Eastern European lacquer traditions.
The long, gently domed lid lifts to reveal a vivid orange-red lacquer interior, creating a dramatic contrast with the dark exterior. Measuring 30.5cm, the box is perfectly sized for storing artist’s brushes, writing tools, knitting notions, jewellery or keepsakes. The softly rounded edges and smooth lacquer finish give it a refined, tactile quality.
A charming decorative box with strong visual appeal—ideal for collectors of lacquerware, floral art, or world folk craftsmanship.
