Antique Russian Wooden Box – Sergiev Posad – Early 20th Century – 11 x 10 x 5.5 cm – Hand-Burned & Painted Folk Art – Bilibin-Style Bogatyr – Russian Revival Style. This is a striking antique Russian wooden box from Sergiev Posad, crafted in the early 20th century.

Made from linden wood (a common choice for Russian folk crafts), the box showcases the classic Sergiev Posad technique of pyrography (wood burning) combined with hand-applied paints, resulting in a textured and visually dynamic surface. The hinged lid opens smoothly to reveal the original unfinished wooden interior, perfect for storing jewelry, keepsakes, or small personal treasures. Its warm patina and age-related wear enhance its authenticity and charm. Origin: Sergiev Posad, Russia. Date: Early 20th century. Material: Linden wood, pyrography, paint. Dimensions: 11 cm x 10 cm x 5.5 cm (4.3 x 3.9 x 2.2 inches). Condition: Good antique condition with visible surface wear and paint fading consistent with age. This piece is a fine example of Russian folk art from one of the country’s most renowned craft centers and, with its Bilibin-inspired bogatyr imagery in the Russian Revival style, it holds special appeal for collectors of Slavic decorative arts and illustration-inspired antiques.
