Please note: This exact box has already been sold, however Ms. Smirnova has graciously agreed to do a similar one. Some of the details may be slightly different, but the composition and spirit of the piece will remain the same. Depending on her work load, the normal time frame for this will be 3-6 months. She will be painting it just for you, and will allow the possibility for a minor change in the box should you desire one. We will guarantee that it will look as good or better than the one here. The box will come with exquisite side ornamentation, although we do not have a side picture to show you here. If you are not happy with the box you receive for any reason, we will gladly refund the total amount paid. A down payment of 50% will be required for her to start work.

This box depicts a German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm which you can read here. In beautiful shades of blue Smirnova beautifully depicts the festive atmosphere of the ball. Each costume is meticulously drawn, no two are alike. The kingdom and trees in the background provide the perfect setting. Magnificent!
