Palekh
Lacquer boxes from Palekh
might well enjoy the highest world-wide acclaim. The lacquer art of Palekh
has been called "a small miracle", a label particularly fitting since that
the village specialized in icon-painting for centuries until the 1917
Russian revolution. To many collectors, Palekh boxes have the most elegant
look to them. When you hold one in your hand, you know you are holding
something truly special. Most often in Palekh works, innumerable fine lines
of gold leaf, polished to a glow by a wolf's tooth, are applied to the
ornamental border and drawing itself. A simple one-color background then
provides a beautiful contrast to the gold leaf and scene itself. This
background, usually black, also serves to take the observer into a new world
where one's concept of time and space is left to the imagination.
