This box is an incomparable work of Russian artists from the Moscow region. The basis of the product is papier-mâché, which is not inferior in strength to wood, but allows you to create graceful shapes to give more expressiveness. The technology for creating a blank requires special skill: within a month, the box is pressed several times, soaked in oil and dried. This is followed by the best representatives of this folk art craft. The village of Fedoskino, located 40 km north of Moscow on the banks of the Ucha River, is the oldest center of lacquer miniature in Russia. The secrets of making and painting on papier-mâché in Fedoskino have been passed down from generation to generation for over 200 years. Fedoskino lacquer miniatures are made with multi-layer oil painting on a primed papier-mâché surface with a special lining. Most of the boxes have a black background on the outside and are covered with scarlet or bright red lacquer on the inside. Fedoskino varnishes were closely associated with Russian graphics of the 19th century. During the 20th century, the Russian country went through revolutions, wars, perestroika and other important historical stages, and we are glad that this craft still exists and a new generation of talented artists continues to create new objects and new forms of art in Fedoskino. you can be sure of its quality, durability and unsurpassed beauty.
