Old Aconite Cocaine Lozenges Box, Circa 1900

Superb pharmaceutical tin box with label, illustrated with a refined polychrome design typical of the Belle Époque. The composition features lozenges combining cocaine and aconite, two substances used at the time for their anesthetic and calming properties in the treatment of throat ailments. The graphics are particularly rich, blending ornamental frames, stylized plants, and typographical cartouches, with the mention of the original price "2 francs", an element always sought after by collectors. The whole presents a beautiful visual freshness with still vivid colors and a very legible decor, enhancing its decorative and historical appeal.
