A Boyar Wedding Feast Makovsky Handmade Jewelry Box

This little box makes a wonderful gift! Made from wood and with a lively print on the lid, it offers a view in the infamous Boyar's Wedding Feast by Russian artist Konstantin Makovsky. Makovsky offers a glipse into the world of the Russian Boyar family. Makovsky’s A Boyar Wedding Feast was a sensation in Russia because of the rapid changes taking place in Russian society during the rule of the Tsars Alexander III & Nicholas II, Makovsky’s historic painting offers a comforting and idealised glimpse at the image of Russian traditions, which greatly appealed to the aristocracy of the time. It evokes the Romantisism of Russia before Peter the Great.
