Khokhloma Wooden Decorative Hand Painted Laquered Plate, Wall Hanging panel For Sale

✦ Welcome to Shroud & Shadow ✦ Purveyors of rare relics and dark lifestyle.Up for acquisition is an exquisite, highly narrative artifact of traditional European folk art: a vintage Khokhloma-style decorative wood-pressed wall panel. Hand-selected for our collection due to its midnight-black lacquer canvas and beautifully balanced gilded enamel work, this authentic piece functions as a timeless, multi-functional addition to your cabinet of curiosities, gothic dining gallery, or dark academia room curation.THE DESIGN:Masterfully crafted in the historic handicraft center of Semyonov, Russia, during the late 20th century, this striking panel features a deep, glassy black lacquer base enriched by a vibrant Yagody (Berry) motif. The face of the plate is meticulously detailed with an ornate scene of brilliant red rowan or viburnum berries nestled among winding golden leaves and delicate, stylized blooms. Striking coral-red bands frame the rim of the dish, accented by a shimmering gold gilt border. Over decades, the multi-layered lacquer has retained its deep luster, holding the moody, vintage character unique to authentic Khokhloma ware. The shimmering golds are achieved through a centuries-old kiln-firing technique without a single drop of real gold leaf, creating an otherworldly, metallic glow when caught by dim light.THE RELIC STAMP:The underside of the vessel features its crisp, original factory paper label and quality control markings. Preserved in remarkable condition, the label bears the official stamp of the legendary "Хохломская роспись" (Khokhlomskaya Rospis) collective, confirming its authentic lineage as a mid-to-late 1990s heritage piece. The label also documents its technical specifications (250x20mm) and bears an authentic "OTK" (Quality Control) stamp, serving as a material testament to an era of traditional regional craftsmanship.DARK LIFESTYLE PROP IDEAS:✦ Display this piece as a bold, architectural visual anchor on a gallery wall, allowing the intense contrast of the red-and-gold motif against the black lacquer to command attention in a dark parlor vignette.
✦ Arrange the dish flat on a ritual altar, vanity, or console table to elegantly display your small treasures, such as raw crystals, bone specimens, or vintage jewelry pieces.
✦ Pair the plate directly alongside heavy brass candelabras, melted black wax candles, or deep emerald-green backdrops to inject narrative depth and rich, Eastern European antique texturing into your space.CONDITION REPORT:Excellent vintage condition.
