Two small Russian lacquered painted boxes. Both are black with scenes on their lids, with red painted interiors.The larger of the two has a scene of mounted combat with apparently Christian knights fighting Moors. The paintings are very detailed, although slightly fanciful, with details painted in gold. This box is rectangular, with metal hinges, and is signed on the lid, the signature appearing to be N2987, with a name in Cyrillic, followed by 1946 and then another name in Cyrillic. The smaller box is an elongated oval, and beautifully painted flowers leaves and branches, with some picked out in gold. Size: The rectangular box is 5 by 3 1/4 by 1 1/4 inches. The oval box is 3 3/4 by 2 by 1 1/4 inches. Provenance: Estate of General Joseph McNarney. Processing and shipping in the Continental United States is $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. The rectangular box is very good, but has small chips missing from the lower corners, but they do not effect the scene. The smaller oval box is excellent plus.
