This 5 shelf cabinet was made in the 1970's. There are groves in the middle of the shelves, and there is 5" space in between.
The colors of the art work are bright and vivid, many nice details to enjoy. The images don't do justice for the real colors.
The tradition originated in the village of Palekh, Russia, with former icon painters who transitioned to this new form of art in the 1920s. Their work is well known around the world for the pretty miniatures, not often will you see a treasure like this.
Quite rare to see a 55 year old piece of furniture in such an excellent condition.
Not too heavy, you can carry it on you own and put it in your vehicle.
