Vintage Hand Painted Kholui Russian Lacquer Hinged Box

Description

VINTAGE KHOLUI RUSSIAN LACQUER BOX
You are bidding on a small, vintage Russian paper mache lacquer box made in the Kholui region. It is signed and titled below the image, which is created entirely by hand, often using only one or two sable bristles to paint so delicately. The box is 2-3/4" by 2" and is 1-1/8" tall.  I'm unable to translate the writing in the lower margin of the box.  We do have the paperwork shown above that comes with the box.  Apparently it was painted exclusively for The Lucy Maxym Collection. It has a price tag of 0 inside as well. The box is hinged and red inside.  There are a couple areas on the underside with what appears to be sticker residue.  I am reluctant to remove it with solvent because this is lacquer, so will leave that to the next owner.
