A red lacquered wooden advertising card box for the SUZE brand, bearing the inscription "BOÎTE À CARTES" (Card Box) and the famous "Suze Apéritif" logo in its elegant script. This type of item was intended for café and bistro tables, serving both as storage for playing cards and as an advertising medium. The bright red finish, now largely patinated with areas of wear revealing the wood, testifies to prolonged use in a real-world setting.
