A beautiful, elegant tin box to celebrate the art
of after-dinner moments. Collectible tin from Chocolate-Amatller,
a chocolate brand based in Spain. Founded by Gabriel Amatller in 1797
in the heart of Barcelona, continues to celebrate its legacy of tradition and
passion for chocolate as one of the oldest active chocolate brands in Europe.
This tin features the poster Alphonse Mucha
created for Amatller's centenary - a modernist icon that turns the act of
offering chocolate into a small ritual with history. Alphonse Mucha
was an Art Nouveau artist from Czechoslovakia, known for his decorative panels,
advertisements and illustrations. He may be best known for
this theatrical poster of actress Sarah Bernhardt. The design on this tin, depicting
a stylized female figure, ethereal, elegant and connected to nature, is part of
a series of lithograph plates. She features flowing hair, flowing drapery with
integrated floral elements symbolizing beauty and nature. A reflection of the
social and cultural shifts of the Belle Époque, where women’s
emancipation and modernity were celebrated through art. It ties Barcelona
chocolate to a sense of luxury, exoticism and timeless beauty.
Not only a collectible with beauty in the design,
but this lidded tin is also a functional box full of utility. Store change,
hair accessories, and other small trinkets.
