About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
This large tin box takes us directly back to French kitchens of the 1970s, when copperware, pottery, and stone walls were making a comeback in interiors. Its decor is almost a scene in itself, with hanging pots and strainers, a pitcher, a teapot, vegetables, and foliage arranged on the shelves of a dream country kitchen. Massilly was founded in Burgundy in 1911, a few kilometers from Cluny. Its founder, Robert Bindschedler, set up his business in an old mill that once belonged to the Cluny Abbey. After World War I, the company turned to metal processing and household item manufacturing, then developed its expertise in tinplate printing and metal packaging. Our box belongs to a particularly charming period of this history. Its graphic design places it around the 1970s, likely between the late 1960s and the mid-1970s. Rustic decor was ubiquitous at the time, and this accumulation of copper, ceramics, and traditional objects wonderfully illustrates that trend. Its dimensions, approximately 26 × 18 cm, make it a generous box that can perfectly be put back into service. On a kitchen shelf with some stoneware pots, on an antique sideboard, or amidst more contemporary decor, it immediately brings a warm seventies touch. It can also revert to its original function and hold biscuits, tea bags, mail, photographs, or small household items. The exterior retains a colorful and very prominent decor. The gilded interior and the bottom are heavily scratched and bear numerous signs of use, perfectly visible in the photographs. Its price reflects this. Dimensions approximately 26 × 18 cm. 1970s.
