Hartaut-Chiglione - France’s Oldest Vermicellerie Since 1804 | Historic Food Label #13651 (License: Personal Use)

This intricately engraved label dates from the mid-to-late 1800s and advertises Hartaut-Chiglione, a Lyon-based pasta manufacturer founded in 1804-claiming to be France’s oldest vermicellerie. The design features allegorical female figures representing abundance and craftsmanship, flanked by crowned heraldic shields, with central text highlighting awards (“Médaille d’Or”) and geographic authenticity (“Saône,” “Rhône”). The ornate border and typographic hierarchy reflect the prestige and artisanal quality associated with high-end alimentary products of the era.
