AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Super charming wooden box with a black cat motif and gorgeous geometric borders. This antique French box is by Le Chat, which was a sub-brand of the Hoffman company that made rice based starch. In the 1920s/1930s it would have been used as a display/advertising unit for their product.
The writing on the sides reads Amidon au Chat - Garanti Pur Riz which translates to Cat Starch - Guaranteed Pure Rice.
Great for practical use or as a display piece in a multitude of interior styles.
Over time the box gained some patination and wear; it has wood worm holes, a few cracks and other marks of usage. Still very decorative and usable.
Dimensions (approximately)
Height 14.5 cm
Width 39 cm
Depth 25.5 cm
Will be packed with care and shipped insured.
