Old wooden advertising trunk Amidon Royal de Riz Rémy & Cie

Old wooden advertising trunk Amidon Royal de Riz Rémy & Cie.

Rice starch was used for ironing laundry and the Rémy brand was founded in 1855 by Edouard Rémy in Belgium.

The factory was in Gaillon in Eure.

This wooden trunk dates from the late 1800s/early 1900s.

The box is in good condition.

The trunk obviously has signs of handling as well as signs of wear.

The wood on the back of the trunk is cracked but not broken, see the photos

There is an inconsequential wood chip at the base of the lid, see photos.

There is a stain on the back of the trunk.

The patina has scratches in places.

The ribbon holding the cover in place must be reattached.

The key to the lock is missing.

The brand's advertising poster is stuck in the lid of the box and it is in good condition.

I invite you to consult the different photos in order to best appreciate the condition of the trunk.

This box remains a magnificent authentic decorative advertising item.

Very unusual model of this size.
