Circa 1900 . Lefranc & Bourgeois. Tin Engraving Set
Etching on tin became fashionable in 1900, with its renewed use by Art Nouveau designers, to create decorative objects such as frames, vases, or applications on bindings.
It's no surprise that Lefranc & Bourgeois offers matching boxes, like paint boxes, to introduce you to this fashionable art.
Several models were offered (see catalog photo), this one costing 16 francs (gold), already a tidy sum.
The box gives the impression of having just come out of the store, it's absolutely new, the tools or leather mat never used, the glass box containing patina still sealed.
It's complete, we were able to verify this with the catalog.
So it's a "fleur de coin" object that's come down to us, which gives it an astonishing charm, as you can see the quality of finish of productions at the time.
