Set of three small antique lithographed tin pen nib boxes, decorated with polychrome children's scenes. Each lid features a different illustration in the style of Belle Époque chromolithographs. These small stationery containers, both utilitarian and decorative, were intended to hold a few metal nibs and are now appealing due to their miniature size and the delicacy of their lithographed decoration.
