Rare box of Rozière pastilles - for pot-au-feu - Circa 1900

A rare antique advertising tin featuring two iconic products from the Rozière company: Pastilles for Pot-au-feu and Panamine, presented in a refined style typical of the late 19th century. The lid is adorned with an engraved scene of a horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by the inscription "Beware of counterfeiting," while the base displays a full advertising text warning against so-called "Panama soap" imitations. This type of tin perfectly illustrates the commercial and legal strategies of the era, blending anti-counterfeiting arguments with high-quality lithographed aesthetics in a miniature format that is now uncommon.
