Tiny Thumbelina faces the menacing Toad in this captivating Russian lacquer box — a scene from Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairy tale rendered with the breathtaking miniature detail that defines Russia's finest lacquer art tradition. The drama, the delicacy, and the whimsy of the story are all captured in exquisite brushwork on a single, jewel-like surface.
Hand-painted on papier-mâché by a Russian artist trained at one of the country's four exclusive lacquer art schools — Fedoskino, Palekh, Mstera, or Kholui — this is a signed, one-of-a-kind work of art. A treasured gift for fairy tale lovers and serious collectors of Russian folk art alike.
