Straight from a local estate collection exclusively to the internet comes this beautifully detailed Russian laquered brooch. A fairly contemporary piece about 15-20 yrs old, the brooch measures approximately 2 5/8" by 1 5/8" and is done with the skill and quality traditionally associated with the highly sought after Russian icons.
The pin is a very high quality detailed drawing depicting a Russian fairy tale scene, I believe. It is oval and laquered with a black background and rich hues of red, orange, blue, silver, and gold. Depicted is a young man holding a the firery feathers of a large bird in flight. He is dressed in elegant attire and appears to be fighting this winged creature. The brooch has the artist's signature and origin on the bottom of the front of the piece.

I welcome any additional information regarding the meaning of this scene from anyone in the know!
In excellent condition, this treasure is all original and ready to wear with your favorite outfit. It is in new condition and has a functional safety clasp on the back. According to a Russian customer of mine, pieces like this are currently being made overseas, however, this one, due to the exquisite detail and signature, is an above average quality piece. |
