Description: Here is a wonderful antique French original marked Au Bon Marche cardboard box with metal corners with the label still attached. This is from a French Department store in the 1890's. It has the original folding room box still inside! It is a fairly large cardboard box, measuring 19 1/4" long X 11 1/2 wide and 4" tall. The lid of the box does have some tears. The lower box does have the upper inside wood frame still attached and the lower box is still strong and sturdy with minor wear as you would expect from a late 1890's boxed set! Inside there is a baby blue/pale aqua floral patterned floor. It doesn't quite fit the standing walls, but it came in the box, and when displayed, it is quite nice! Like a floral carpet pattern. On the standing walls is a gold star wallpaper with a border and the lower walls are painted with an aqua color. I do see a tiny bit of the gold star border paper missing on one side of the wall, that is the only damage I can see on the paper. There is 2 ormolu or ormolu styled frames showing 2 ladies in the frames! One side of the wall has a large mirror. There are 2 actual glass windows behind the 2 drapes. They should probably be reinforced somehow, as the glass windows are held up with a tiny wood shelf. The blue silk drapes are original and are the silk ribbon ties on the sides of the drapes. The walls measure 17 1/2" on the back wall, (like the 1st picture) and the side walls are 6" each. The height of the walls is 9 1/2" tall. Great find!
