Lovely decorative rustic French Vintage Rectangular Metal Aluminum Advertising Tin Bin Storage Box (Biscuit Box) with attached cover hinged lid stamped “B. Sirven”. B. Sirven stands for Bernard Sirven who founded a Lithography printing company in 1834 specializing in lithography and later the manufacture of metal boxes with the most famous print “Cachou Lajounie”. I found these 3 lovely rectangular gems metal aluminum“tins bins” at a vide grenier in Normandy as follows:
Tin N#1: An image of a farm scence with a herb of Sheeps.
Tin N#2: A yarn scene with 2 dogs by a lake.
Tin N#3: A folk Art scene of 3 people playing instruments.
--- Condition ---
In rustic vintage condition. Given the age and usage, there are areas of fading, rusting, surface stains, scratches and bumps as shown in the phones. It has been cleaned with normal soap and water to remove the years of residue and some of the rust. This is still some rust and areas with marks of usage but I keep them as they tell the story of the tin and I didn't want to damage the integrity of the item. I used a varnish on the surface to help prevent future rusting. Please take a look at photos and use ZOOM to review in detail.
