About the Item

A French barbotine bonbon box from the 19th century, depicting a young boy laying on a tree trunk. Born in France during the 19th century, this charming candy box features a delicate barbotine décor depicting a heartwarming scene: a young boy, wearing a green hat adorned with a petite feather, is laying on a tree trunk, his head casually resting in his left hand. His smile and relaxed pose convey an undeniable sense of serenity. Witnessing of simpler times, this French barbotine candy (translating as bonbon in French) box will be a lovely decorative addition to any home, particularly displayed in a bedroom, dining room or living room.
