This round, lidded box in the Hutsul style is crafted from turned beech wood and originates from Poland, dating to the 1930s. Finished with a warm, honey-toned lacquer, it highlights the natural wood grain and provides a subtle sheen. Both the lid and the body are richly decorated with hand-painted folk motifs: geometric circles and diamonds, as well as stylized floral elements in shades of green, red, yellow, blue, and black. The patterns are symmetrically arranged, outlined with fine black lines and accented by colorful dots, creating a composition that balances vibrancy with harmony. The decoration, typical of the Hutsul region, combines rustic simplicity with intricate craftsmanship. The construction allows for a secure fit of the lid, while the proportions and ornament reflect the interwar fascination with Carpathian folk art, blending utility with ornamentation. The surface displays minor scratches, localized wear to the lacquer, and a gentle patina, all consistent with its age. The overall condition is good, with no major damage or repairs.This box carries with it the story of the Carpathian borderlands, where everyday life intertwined with ritual and utilitarian art expressed a distinct local identity. Its form and decoration evoke a world where plant motifs represented abundance, and geometric ornaments signified order and cycles of the natural world. The surface, gently polished by time, seems to whisper of family homes where such objects held keepsakes and trinkets—serving both as ornament and a witness to daily rituals.The box could be displayed on a sideboard or shelf in the living room, where its palette and painterly detail would harmonize with accessories made of natural materials like wood or ceramics.
