Vintage Véganine 20 tablets advertising box, retro pharmacy decor

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old pharmacy advertising box for 20 Véganine tablets, as seen in the photo. It is an elongated rectangular cardboard package, featuring a bright red background with white and yellow lettering. The name "Véganine" is clearly highlighted on the lid, accompanied by the mention "20 comprimés" (20 tablets). Also visible on the side is an indication of use for "Névralgies, migraines, grippe" (Neuralgia, migraines, flu) and part of the leaflet printed in small characters.

The box presents a typical aesthetic of French pharmaceutical products from the mid-20th century, with clear typography and a clean design, very representative of the 1950s-60s. The striking contrast between red, pale yellow, and white is eye-catching and gives the whole piece an authentic retro look. The object is photographed partially open, showing the structure of the top flap.

The matte cardboard shows moderate signs of wear, including slight fold marks on the corners and a visible patina on the edges, signs of prolonged storage. No contents are visible in the photo; only the outer box is concerned.

This type of packaging was common in French pharmacies for pharmaceutical specialties of the time and is now a decorative curiosity, appreciated for its vintage graphics and its evocative value of old pharmacies.

The main exposed side highlights the brand and the number of tablets, as well as the therapeutic purpose, reinforcing the authentic and advertising aspect of the piece.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Visible signs of wear from use, some marks on the cardboard and slight patina, with no apparent tearing on the visible side. Presentation faithful to the photograph.

Did you know? Véganine was an emblematic medication in France, used from the early 20th century to relieve pain and migraines. Its original composition combined several active ingredients (including caffeine and phenacetin powder, now banned), making it a flagship product in French pharmacies until the 1970s, before being gradually withdrawn from the market for health safety reasons.
