About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
This large tin takes us directly back to French kitchens of the 1970s, when copperware, pottery, and stone walls were making a comeback in interiors. Its decoration is almost a scene in itself, with hanging pots and colanders, a jug, 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 Abbey of Cluny. After World War I, the company turned to metal processing and the manufacture of household goods, then developed its expertise in tinplate printing and metal packaging.
Our tin belongs to a particularly charming period in this history. Its design places it around the 1970s, likely between the late 1960s and mid-1970s. Rustic decor was ubiquitous then, and this accumulation of copper, ceramics, and traditional objects beautifully tells the story of this trend.
Its dimensions, approximately 26 × 18 cm, make it a generously sized tin 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 primary function and hold biscuits, tea bags, mail, photographs, or small household items.
The exterior retains a colorful and very prominent decoration. The golden interior and the underside are heavily scratched and show numerous signs of use, perfectly visible in the photographs. Its price reflects this. Dimensions approximately 26 × 18 cm. 1970s.
