Antique 19th Cent. Swiss 'Chocolat Tobler' leather embossed box RARE
$125
Offered for sale is this rare and highly-collectable antique late-19th Century Swiss ‘Chocolat Tobler’ embossed leather decorated presentation box, most likely dating from the 1890’s. Research indicates the company offered a range of chocolates (in differing boxes) which were issued as promotional releases before creating the ‘Toblerone’ brand as we know it today. This example is called the ‘Florence’ pattern.
The embossed design features a central heraldic shield with lion rampant, grasping a branch. At each corner is a floral cartouche. Both the boss and cartouches feature painted highlights.
Perfect for a variety of new purposes today, whether for display or practical use. Could easily hold keepsakes/jewellery/trinkets. Or if you’re a RPG-player (especially for Dungeon Masters), this would make a great box to hold your miniatures, dice or modules, etc. Would also make a great cosplay accessory!
In excellent original condition.
Measures 31.5cm x 23cm x 3.5cm (d) approximately.
