Document source description
An unusual feature of this box is the rectangular panel set in the lid in red translucent en plein enamel over a guilloché, or mechanically engraved, checker-board pattern. The box is decorated with blossoms in pale blue, violet, pink and red enamel set in cream-colored cartouches. These, in turn, are enclosed within an olive green background. This pastel color scheme is characteristic of Semenova's work. Distinctive details in the filigree include the spirals indicating the blossom's stamens and the silver, concave dots scattered across the background colors.
