The box has a classic rectangular shape, with a main face adorned with blue typographical printing on a light background. The graphics, characteristic of 20th-century French administrative productions, highlight the name of the régie (monopoly), the number of matches, and the mention \"TENIR À L’ABRI DE L’HUMIDITÉ\" (KEEP AWAY FROM HUMIDITY).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe design uses period typography, with sober lines, and geometric borders. The mentions \"TEITA\" and \"9 F\" are clearly visible, as is the stylized circular logo at the bottom left of the face. The entire design is printed in blue ink, giving the object an immediately recognizable retro look, typical of administrative supplies from the post-war period up to the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible surface of the box appears to be made of thick cardboard or paper, with clean edges and a slight patina, indicating its age without apparent excessive wear. The print remains clearly legible, with no major discoloration on the face shown. No chips or tears are visible in the photographed area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe box is photographed in a heritage setting (carved wood paneling and stained glass in the background), emphasizing its historical character and the vintage aesthetic of objects from the French Régie. This type of box was commonly used in French administrations, cafés, and homes for much of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
