Antique lithographed tin box with deep blue graphics and shaded gilt, bearing the inscription "Florentines." Its understated and elegant design, typical of the interwar period, makes it a rare piece, as the "Chocolat de l'Univers" brand, a Lyon-based chocolate maker founded in the 19th century, rarely appears in well-known advertisements. A beautiful, compact, and highly decorative countertop box.
