Description
VALDA - c.1930
Original flat enamelled plate with folded edges in 3 parts. 200 x 40 cm
Enamelling: "émaillerie Alsacienne de Strasbourg".
-Represents Michèle Morgan, illustrated by Robert Falcucci.
Very good condition - The colours are well marked and deep, retaining all their intensity, and the brilliance is also well preserved, enhancing the visual quality of the whole.
There are only a few discrete alterations at the edges, in the form of small chips, which are minor and have no effect on the visual aspect.
The plate is also complete with its three original panels.
- A fine example -
The history of the Valda brand began in 1905 in Paris, when Henri-Edmond Canonne, an apothecary from Lille with a passion for microbiology, decided to create a small ball of soft paste rich in gum arabic: this was the birth of Valda pastilles.
The five antiseptic constituents of Valda pastilles are peppermint, eucalyptus, thyme, guaiac wood and Landes pine.
The origin of the "valda" brand is a contraction of two words of Latin origin, valetudo ("health") and dare (the verb "to give").
