Wonderful Vintage French Tin Box with La Fontaine Fables

This is a wonderful vintage tin box from France, decorated with scenes from Jean de la Fontaine’s fables. On the lid is The Wolf and the Lamb, on the front and back of the base we see The Tortoise and the Hare, and on each end is The Fox and the Crow. The artwork is really special, and there is a pretty dark-ish patina to the tin. It appears to have been treated/protected with a finish that gives a nice enamel-like look. I believe this tin dates to around 1930. Lid is hinged, with three hinges.

CONDITION:

The vintage wear and patina includes some small areas of wear, some small scratches and scuffs, some handling marks and normal vintage soiling, some small and/or minor dents and dings, some minor early rust here and there, etc.

Additional condition issues of note:

· Not much wear, most small worn spots are on lid at opposite corners, a noticeable small spot on bunny on back side.

· Bit of a dark-ish patina to tin; appears to have been coated with a finish.

· A slight line of congealing of finish on back side, seen in right light.

· Light-ish vintage wear/patina inside.

· Some dark marks and a little early rust on bottom.

· Hinges well attached, move freely.

· Opens/closes fine.

Approximate size of tin is about 9 3/8” by 5.75” by about 3.75” tall.

The tin is empty.

Since I am not a professional photographer, and colors can vary across devices, the colors and brightness should be considered an approximation.
