I liked these jewelry holders. This is a lacquer miniature. Lacquer miniature is one of the most ancient arts and crafts that came to Russia and Europe from the East.

The secret of the technique is that varnish adds brightness to the paints, and gives the image integrity. The classic color for painting the base is black, other colors are also used that are in harmony with the image. In the lacquered miniature, all the famous genres of fine art are found: portrait, still life, landscape, animalistic, historical and everyday subjects.

Russian lacquer miniature is distinguished by its originality and variety of types of painting, therefore it does not lose its artistic value until now.


Russian bookstore «Colibri» is located in the USA.
