Our company offers a repair service for Russian Lacquer Boxes (we are the only such service known to us). If the box only needs minor repairs and can be repaired here, we will do it in the US; otherwise, the box will be taken to Russia on one of our scheduled buying trips and repaired professionally there.

The cost of the repairs is based on the condition of each individual box. We will always try to provide an estimate, but sometimes this is very difficult. Repair service is based on a cost of $25.00 per hour.

If you have a Russian Lacquer Box that needs to be repaired or restored, E-mail us (use our on-line form if you wish) with a description of the repairs required. Additionally, we need to know if the box is paper-mache, pressed wood, metal, or plastic. We also need to know the village where the box was painted, if known (Fedoskino, Palekh, Mstera or Kholui).

After we receive your E-mail request, we will evaluate it and give you further instructions.

All repairs and restorations that are done in Russia are done professionally by Russian artists. They recently repaired a box that had been knocked from a dresser by the owner's cat and the restored box looked even better than the original work.
