World’s Fair Commemorative Metal Box
About the Item
Produced in France in the 20th Century as an ode to World’s Fairs of the past. The front of the box depicts the iconic art deco structure ‘Grand Palais’ which was the main feature of the 1935 Brussels exhibition. Although forgotten in the world’s memory, the structure on the box's side charms the collective imagination to this day; the Eiffel Tower, its historically groundbreaking iron engineering having become a timeless classic, continues to inspire world travelers of the modern day. This fascinating find is a charming recollection to add to your personal treasure trove.
