"The Forest Fairy-Tale" Lacquer Kholui Box
Russian Lacquer Painting. Artist Babyrin N.I.
Beautiful young girl walking alone by the forest, fantastical trees, malicious green devil - all this is skillfully painted by artists from Kholui, world-wide recognized masters of the miniature painting.
This amazing box is made of the highest quality papier-mache and is covered with three layers of lacquer. Paper-mache does not absorb the paint and it is also protected by a thick layer of lacquer. This way colors will not fade and will stay vivid and bright for many dozens of years to come.
This jewellery lacquer box is produced by the Kholui Association that specializes in producing handpainted boxes of papier-mache. This material is more lasting than the wood, which can crack because of time or moisture. Papier-mache is an art which has deep roots in the Russian history. Producing of every item is a very long and labour-consuming process. The beautiful miniature painting which covers the boxes is very detailed and originates from the Russian icon painting. The main aspects in producing of miniatures are right preparation and blending of paints (all paints are handmade), several stages of lacquering and polishing, and of course the mastery of the Kholui artists. The principal topics of miniatures are the landscapes and architectual monuments of Russia, the plots and protagonists of Russian fairy tales, fables and legends.
