1860s French Fil au Chinois Linen Thread Carton Label.

The company behind the Fil Au Chinois brand was founded by 
Francois-Philibert Vrau and began manufacturing linen thread in Lille in 
1827. Francois-Philibert’s son, Philibert Vrau, took over in the 1850s 
and revitalized the brand which soared in popularity in the 1860s and 
1870s. Philibert Vrau (1829-1905) was a philanthropist who founded a 
Catholic engineering school and donated a large portion of his income to 
social causes.
