Doosje bij draagteken, 1910 c. 1910

This small, black box, measuring only 6.35 cm in length, is a packaging item for a Dutch medal seller, D.A. Schmidt, from Amsterdam. The inscription "Ridderorden, Orde linten, Medailles, Insignes enz." identifies the contents of the box. The golden inscription on the black background creates a striking visual contrast, showcasing the artistry of the packaging design. This object provides a glimpse into the commercial practices of the early 20th century in Amsterdam.
