Lively Lacquered Folk Art Wood Boxes
This striking set of four vintage Mexican folk art boxes showcases vibrant hand-painted floral designs over lacquered wood forms, each uniquely shaped and intricately accented. Crafted using traditional techniques, these boxes feature both painted and hand-carved details across black lacquered surfaces with vivid botanical motifs in yellow, pink, red, and green. The varied forms include rectangular, domed, and trapezoidal lids, offering both decorative appeal and storage versatility. These boxes reflect the artistic heritage of regions like Guerrero or Michoacán, where floral lacquerware remains a celebrated folk tradition. A standout addition for collectors of Mexican handcrafts or rustic global décor.
