Lacquer Papier-Mache Handcrafted Floral Decorative Trinket Box India

This exquisite handcrafted jar features a stunning floral design in black, green, and red. Perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any home decor. This decorative trinket box is a hand-painted lacquered papier-mâché piece featuring floral and geometric designs in vibrant colors including blue, green, red, and gold against a dark background. It was likely produced in Kashmir, India during the late 20th century, where this traditional craft of papier-mâché with lacquer finish has been practiced for centuries. “Such lacquered boxes are popular among collectors of Indian folk art and handcrafted decorative items. They are valued for their lightweight construction, colorful hand-painted designs, and the distinctive glossy lacquer finish that protects and enhances the vibrant colors. Collectors of global handicrafts, particularly those interested in traditional Indian crafts from Kashmir, appreciate these pieces for their cultural significance and decorative appeal.” Circa 1980-2000
