Empty soap box - SAPOCETI GUERLAIN
Vintage lithographed cardboard box that contained a set of Sapoceti soaps from the famous Guerlain house.
Formulated from the creation of the house in 1828 from whale white (spermaceti) for its soothing virtues, Sapoceti has been one of their iconic care products for over a century.
This box takes up the design of the 1920s and 1930s: a central decoration illustrated with a stylized whale on a radiant sun, framed by a scroll cartouche, stars and delicate arabesques on a golden background, from the Art Deco period.
The edge is adorned with a white and black calligraphic frieze centered on an eight-pointed star.
There is the historical address of the house: 68, avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris, so the box dates from after 1914 and its installation at this address.
Period: around 1920 - 1930 - Art Deco
House: Guerlain Paris (68, avenue des Champs-Élysées)
Material: Cardboard covered with gold, black and white lithographed paper

Indicating to the pharmacist that it must be stored separately from other substances in the cabinet for toxic substances, the famous ‘poison cabinet’.
It comes from the former cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not been moved from the shelves since the late 1950s. The cellar had served as a medical analysis laboratory and a laboratory for the pharmacy’s compounded preparations from 1900 until around 1950.
