A square lithographed tin from the renowned British firm Huntley & Palmers, a biscuit manufacturer founded in Reading in the 19th century and an official supplier to the Crown. This particular model bears the inscription "By Appointment to His Majesty the King" on the lid, accompanied by a richly illustrated royal coat of arms, a symbol of prestige and official recognition. The original green hue, combined with a simple and elegant typeface, is characteristic of English productions from the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. The gilt interior is typical of high-quality food tins designed to preserve biscuits. An authentic piece, with a consistent antique patina, attesting to its actual use.
