Set of Three Vintage French Tins
Set of Three Vintage French Tins
Once staples of Parisian épiceries, these tins carried special treats that spoke of luxury and indulgence. Each one is a glimpse into the gourmet heritage of France — the kind of packaging that would have graced the shelves of specialty shops in the early 20th century.
Crêpes Dentelles box – 17 × 11 × 8 cm. A classic Breton delicacy, these are thin rolled crêpes — famously crisp, often dipped or filled with chocolate — considered a refined treat for celebrations.
Bonbons du Mikado tin – 10 cm diameter × 5 cm tall. Once filled with elegant French candies, the design evokes both travel and indulgence.
Pastilles Valda tin – 7 cm diameter × 8 cm tall. Iconic lozenges beloved for soothing the throat, their tins became a familiar sight in pharmacies and épiceries alike.
Together, they bring the charm and history of Parisian gourmet culture to any corner of the home — equally at ease in the kitchen, study, or dining room.
Why we love this…
“Both charming and functional, vintage pieces can add just the right authentic French touch to your kitchen or home”.

As with all vintage and antique items, please look closely at the details in the images. We note breakage or chips if apparent, but the patina which is inherent of age, or wear from 50-100+ years of existence and use -- is assumed for older pieces and is not considered a flaw or defect.
