Set of 8 Antique French Advertising Tins

A charming collection of eight antique and vintage French advertising tins dating from the early to mid-20th century. This set includes round and rectangular tins once used for cocoa (Phoscao), salt, coffee, and other provisions, each adorned with bold typography and colorful lithographed labels. The graphics feature classic French advertising styles, including Phoscao’s iconic branding, a whimsical Circus O. Carré illustration, and rustic pastoral motifs.
The tins show expected age wear such as patina, scuffs, and minor rusting, adding to their authentic antique character. They display beautifully together as a collection and are perfect for kitchen styling, shelving displays, or as unique French decorative accents.
