A loyal Finnish Spitz gazes out from this charming miniature Russian lacquer box, captured with the warmth and precision that defines the finest Russian lacquer miniature tradition. The Finnish Spitz — known for its fox-like face and spirited personality — is rendered in exquisite detail, a perfect tribute for dog lovers and collectors of Russian folk art alike.
Hand-painted on papier-mâché using brushes of a single rabbit hair and finished with multiple layers of lustrous lacquer, this petite box carries centuries of artistry in its tiny frame. Rooted in the Fedoskino school founded in 1795, each piece is a one-of-a-kind work of art — as functional as it is beautiful.
