Vintage Russian Hand‑Painted Floral Black Lacquer Oval Brooch

A luminous vintage Russian hand‑painted floral brooch in glossy black lacquer, crafted in the Palekh‑style tradition of miniature painting. The oval form glows with vivid red, pink, and yellow blossoms framed by delicate gold scrollwork — a timeless expression of Russian artistry. The piece carries the quiet charm of mid‑century export work, likely made between the 1960s and 1970s, with a smooth lacquer finish and a secure safety‑pin closure. Its hand‑painted surface catches light beautifully, making it a striking accent for any collector or admirer of folk art jewelry.

Very good vintage condition with light surface wear consistent with age; paint and lacquer remain glossy and intact.
