Russians are superb at woodworking and painting intricate designs.
ReplyDeleteIt does look Russian to me but I have no idea why that is so. Maybe the colors?
ReplyDeleteLove painted furniture..and this is a beautiful piece.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find Kate! Absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn' have anywhere to put it, but it is quite attractive.
ReplyDeleteI would love to browse around that museum and find treasures like this one.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Kate, every panel tells a story by the look of it.
ReplyDeletep.s. I know exactly what you mean about the long flights, that's the only thing wrong with living in Perth, it's just sooo far away!
That's a beautiful painted piece of furniture!
ReplyDeleteIt is! So eye catching and intricate. Lovely find & capture.
ReplyDeleteeven before reading it, I sussed that it was Russian!

That is gorgeous! Now what dimensions are we looking at here? Lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork! And a great capture:)
ReplyDeleteThe details and colours are stunning!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteOh,my, was this chest actually for sale? Surely not. I can't imagine anyone other than the hopelessly wealthy being able to afford such a piece of art.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnother temptation! First the tea set. Then the angel. Now this! I'm so glad I'm just looking at photos, from a distance.
ReplyDeleteLooks like something you would find here in NM.
ReplyDeleteBeauty of a find. As some of the other readers are, I am a big fan of painted furniture also. Wonderful choice of colors the artist chose. An heirloom one would think!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty. I don't know that I would have guessed its provenance as Russian.
ReplyDeleteOld painted furniture is so appealing. Even newly painted furniture is fun and whimsical.
