Pretty antique "Cocaine Aconite Lozenges" box

Superb pharmaceutical tin box with a label, illustrated with refined polychrome decoration typical of the Belle Époque. The composition highlights lozenges combining cocaine and aconite, two substances used at the time for their anesthetic and calming properties in the treatment of throat ailments. The graphics are particularly rich, blending ornamental frames, stylized plants, and typographical cartouches, with the original price "2 francs" mentioned, an element highly sought after by collectors. The whole presents a beautiful visual freshness with still vivid colors and a very legible decoration, enhancing its decorative and historical appeal.
