One can imagine the storefronts of Vichy's confectioneries, their boxes lined up in that characteristic deep blue, which spa-goers would take home as a souvenir of their thermal stay. This Vichy-Central – Les Sucres d'Orge metal tin is one of those everyday objects that gracefully withstand the test of time. The lid features the golden cursive typography "Les Sucres d'Orge" and the inscription "Vichy-Central," surmounted by the coat of arms of the city of Vichy in a golden medallion, in a promotional style typical of the mid-20th century. The deep navy blue background lends the piece a sober and unique elegance. The tin opens and closes properly. The interior shows natural signs of age, visible in the photos.
