POLISH WOOD BOXES
Box making is a time honored Polish tradition from the
Highlanders of the Tatra Region of the Carpathian Mountains, a region called
Podhale, dating back to the 1st millennium A.D. There are 30
steps required in making these boxes, which is made of poplar,
linden or lime tree wood. It is carved, painted, stained and/or
burned with designs and color (small carved triangles, circles, lines, hearts,
birds, mountain flowers and rosettes are the favorite designs of folk art they
use). The master craftsmen of
Poland are renowned for the quality of their intricate handcrafted
designs and precisely fitted lids. Enjoy these pieces of functional art!

RUSSIAN LACQUER BOXES
Here's a lovely selection of lacquer boxes, hand-made in Russia
from four villages renowned for this artwork. Fifty layers of lacquer on
each hinged papier-mâché box takes 3-6 months for the box itself, not the
artwork on top. This papier-mâché becomes a wood-like substance that is
extremely hard, durable, waterproof, non-porous and not affected by
temperature. Oil-based or tempura paints are used for the artwork,
sometimes using a single squirrel or wolf hair brush, even painting between
heartbeats to create a perfect line. Russian fairytales are the most
popular themes. Each box comes with a summary of the fairy tale.
Most boxes are signed by the artist and inscribed with the village name as
well. This is just a sampling of what we have in the store...most are Signed. High
Quality!
