19thC French Horse - Themed Boxes, S/3

Antique tapioca boxes from the late 19th century discovered at a market in southwest France. This charming boxes are unused stock from an abandoned cereal factory. Each is wrapped in glossy paper overlaid with a chromolithographic image on the front, product information label on the back, and a paper seal on the top which pulls back to reveal a hole into which the tapioca would have poured. While lovely to put on display by themselves, we think they make darling flower vases and include a florist tube with each box (see photos).

PLEASE NOTE: This listing has the theme of "horses" and we have multiple sets available; the mix of equestrian images a buyer will receive includes a random selection of one or more of the images shown in the photos. We also are offering sets with other images (couples, trains, military) in separate  listings.  We are happy to consolidate purchases to save on shipping.
