AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

This listing is for a small antique advertising box from the Pelissier brand, dedicated to promoting wood, coal, and household appliances associated with the Thermogaz brand. The object, rectangular with rounded corners, features a visually smooth, uniformly dark brown exterior finish. The front face, the only one visible in the photo, is adorned with a printed advertising label in gold, black, and red, with a layout typical of mid-20th century advertising materials.

The legible inscription on the label reads: "PELISSIER BOIS & CHARBONS APPAREILS MENAGERS THERMOGAZ BUTANE PROPANE Bd Stuart-Mill - AVIGNON". The gold lettering on a brown background is eye-catching, while the lower part of the label, in yellow, highlights the "Thermogaz" specialization and the types of fuels marketed.

The object is presented in a blue velvet-like case, placed on a beige satin fabric, which enhances the box and emphasizes its aspect as a collector's item or vintage curiosity. No hinges, openings, or closures are visible on the displayed side, suggesting a simple lid or flap structure.

The surface of the label shows some signs of wear and slight marks, signs of an authentic patina related to its age. No major chips or obvious structural defects appear in the provided photo. The ensemble evokes an advertising accessory distributed in a commercial or promotional context, typical of 20th-century fuel or household appliance businesses.

The graphic style, color choices, and typography recall the visual codes of the 1950s-1960s, a period during which this type of advertising material was common among local merchants.
