**Tôle peinte (literally "painted sheet metal" in French) refers to decorative objects made of tinned iron or sheet metal that have been lacquered and hand-painted. Originating in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, this technique was initially developed to rust-proof functional household items while making them look like expensive porcelain or Japanese lacquerware.
