Winter Troika Fedoskino Lacquer Box

One of the most favorite motifs for decoration among Fedoskino masters is certainly the Russian troika. The troika of white mighty and fast horses riding along a snowy road is a symbol of a mysterious Russian soul. After all, we all know the phrase “Is there a Russian who does not like a fast ride” by N. Gogol. Riding a troika used to be the favorite kind of fun among people who lived in ancient Russia. Traditionally made of papier-mache covered with an expressive and bright image this lacquer box makes an excellent gift for a collector or connoisseur of traditional Russian art. A luxurious box undoubtedly makes an unusual accent and decoration of the interior of any room in the house and will serve the owner for many years.
