Russian lacquered box וינטג׳ קופסאת לקאר רוסית עשויה עץ Fedoskino , מצויירת בעבודת יד, חתומה - The village of Fedoskino, located 40 kilometers to the north from Moscow on the bank of river Ucha, is Russia's oldest center of lacquer miniature painting. The secrets of making and painting on papier-mache in Fedoskino have been passed from one generation to another for over 200 years now. Lacquer miniatures of Fedoskino are made with the help of multi-layer oil painting on the primed papier-mache surface with special lining. Most of the Fedoskino boxes have a black background on the outside and are covered inside with scarlet or bright-red lacquer. Fedoskino lacquers were closely linked to Russia's graphic Art of the 19th Century. But quite a few works we can name as prototypes of miniature compositions used in Fedoskino Boxes now. The theme of troyka(the three horses) riding was very popular in 19th Century's Boxes. A troyka rushing through the snow field and sledge riding is a popular theme that has become an emblem of the Fedoskino craft.
