Description: Looking at this gorgeous box, you will immediately recognize a master hand of Sergey Rogatov who is known as one of the best modern Fedoskino artists. His unique boxes are displayed almost in every catalogue on the Russian lacquer art. He is a member of the Artist Union of USSR, and a participant of various exhibitions in Russia and abroad. We are always proud to exhibit his works on our web site.
The box shows a peaceful summer landscape. It's early morning, and the fishermen are ready to start their day. Their boats push off the river bank covered with dense vegetation. In the background the steamship that is almost invisible because of the morning mist, sails up the river. Large pieces of mother-of-pearl shine brilliantly through the trees painted in the foreground. The grass and some of the trees are highlighted with silver powder. The scene is fantastically beautiful!
The scene is outlined with gold. The box's sides are decorated with Rogatov's style signature gold ornaments that consist of an innumerable number of scrolls.
The box is constructed out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The box has a hinge above the scene, and rests on a flat bottom. Signed with the artist's name and the year of 2007.
