Robelin company in Dijon. The central decoration depicts a scene of laundry at the washhouse, surrounded by a rich ornamental border and medals awarded at international exhibitions in London, Paris, and Sydney. This specialty of \"Ultramarine Blue\" was intended for bluing linen, in the form of solid balls, a set of which is still preserved inside. A remarkable testament to the French domestic and chemical industry of the late 19th century, at once utilitarian, decorative, and emblematic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"949\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003e ✦ Origin: France, Dijon\u003cbr data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"980\"\u003e ✦ Estimated period: Circa 1900 \u003cbr data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1011\"\u003e✦ Dimensions: 19 x 9 x 7 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1039\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003e ✦ Material: Wood and printed paper\u003cbr data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1079\"\u003e ✦\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e Contents: Approximately 15 antique balls of ultramarine blue\u003cbr data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1177\"\u003e ✦\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e Condition: Signs of wear consistent with age, missing and rubbed labels, marked corners, sound structure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1437\"\u003e An iconic object of laundry practices and advertising aesthetics of the Belle Époque, ideal for a cabinet of curiosities, an old drugstore display case or workshop decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brocante Jolbro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53283627598157,"sku":null,"price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/1049\/5053\/files\/20260130_115124.jpg?v=1769784901","url":"https:\/\/brocantejolbro.com\/en\/products\/boite-la-perle-des-blanchisseuses-l-robelin-vers-1900","provider":"Brocante Jolbro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
