This elegant tin features two beautiful ladies in Georgian-period costumes and elaborate hairstyles. Each lady is presented in the oval inset of a gold-tone metallic frame that has white scrolling at each corner - as if a framed portrait. The detailing of each lady's curls, ruffled clothes and expressions is very attractive. This octagon (8-sided) tin has alternating panels of light blue & cream stripes. The removable lid has a dark-blue knob and features a 'lord and lady' engaged in flirtatious dance - she flutters her fan, oh so demurely!

In very good condition. The bottom seam is has moderate rust which has bled a bit (1/8") onto the lower edge of the images. There are some light scratches and light tarnishing on the lid and around the rim. The few light, stray scratches and minimal tarnishing (10%) on the portraits do not detract from the loveliness of the images. The interior is clean - seems to have been given a grey, enamel-like coating.

Measures 4" x 5 1/4" x 6" tall. On the bottom it reads, "This container contains Barratts Pied Piper Imported Quality Candy Assortment", followed by a list of ingredients and then, "Made in England by Barratt & Co. Ltd, Wood Green, London". Please stop by again when you're browsing on Ruby Lane!
