    Art Deco Repoussé Pewter Pill Box by Eugène and Alice Chanal

    Created by the artist couple Alice and Eugène Chanal at the end of the 19th century, this pill box belongs to the Art Nouveau period (1890-1910), a pivotal era in late 19th/early 20th-century design, during which the organic forms of natural elements were emphasized.

    Here, we see the box, composed of its body and lid. The top is intricately worked, adorned with curved motifs in the shape of a Christian cross, inspired by nature. It is further embellished with leaf and seed motifs, reminiscent of a hazel tree.

    Its small size is actually a testament to its sophistication. In the 19th century, pill boxes were essential to the health of the French people of that era; they were either carried with them to store their medications or kept at home to protect medicines or small jewelry from pests. Tin was a commonly used material at that time, considered safe for food before the invention of stainless steel.

    Still usable, it can also serve as a simple decoration or even a collector's item! Its intricate design and E.A. Chanal signature make it a rare and sought-after piece of folk art. So don't hesitate, add it to your collection!
