The box is signed by the artist
and comes with the Certificate of Authenticity.
Artists from Fedoskino, the birthplace of Russian lacquer
miniatures, use a more realistic style of painting than the
other villages. They also use oil paints for their drawings
instead of the egg-based temperas. Three to four layers of
the oil paints, along with seven coats of lacquer, are applied
to each box before it is completed. This layering brings
out a radiant quality in the drawings and the colors seem
to emanate from within. Sometimes, an underlay of gold leaf
or mother of pearl enhances this radiance and adds a lovely
iridescence
of its own.
