Lithographed tin box "Bautin Floor Wax"

This small lithographed tin advertising box once contained Bautin Wax Polish, a cleaning product for furniture and woodwork. Its black and yellow typographic design, enriched with late 19th-century-inspired ornaments, highlights the product's qualities: "Incomparable - Inimitable," "Washable and non-sticky insecticide." This type of pocket-sized packaging was intended for selling samples or small quantities for households. Its reduced format and very characteristic graphics make it a sought-after item today by collectors of old advertising tins.
