“Serenity” teal, black and cream hand painted lacquer jewelry box

UzbekAlive owes its beginning to hand painted lacquer boxes made of papier-mâché .

The inspiration came around 2000 from Koshib Omonov, Uzbek artist of lacquer painting in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

The first version of UzbekAlive website was entirely devoted to lacquer hand painted boxes. Slowly we expanded into ikat fabrics, ikat pillow covers, silk scarves and other cultural treasures Uzbekistan offers.

Over the years these jewelry boxes have touched many hearts around the world. We have customers who ordered such hand painted jewelry boxes as gifts for their bridesmaids – an artist customized jewelry boxes by writing names of a newlywed couple on the backside of a lid. People in love used our jewelry boxes to propose to their loved ones. Fathers bought our jewelry boxes for their teenage daughters as their first jewelry box. Whatever the occasion these jewelry boxes win hearts with their beauty and intricate details of painting and make unique and unforgettable gifts.

Art by Koshib Omonov is also presented in Hand Painted Barrettes category.

The octagon shaped box inspired by blue mosaics architecture of Samarkand and Bukhara.

The lacquer box is made of papier-mache and hand-painted in Uzbek traditions of ornamental lacquer painting. Please notice that the quality of the paper-mache is very high. It is durable and it is processed to have a smooth surface. The craftsmanship of each piece is extremely delicate, elaborate, and unique. The golden parts on the lid and on the sides of the box were created by applying a very thin golden foil to the surface of the papier-mache. The ornamentation was then painted on the foil.

Each box is signed and dated (2008) by an artist who made it. In this case, this is a work of Koshib Omonov.

Gift idea: we made and custom signed several of these boxes to be given as bridesmaids' gifts for a wedding in the USA.
