Antique French Set of Five Aluminium Kitchen Storage Canisters

A great set of five graduating French kitchen storage canisters, dating from the early to mid 20th Century, with striking brass labels.

This is a complete set of vintage French set of storage tins. In graduating heights, there are tins for ‘Farine’ (flour), 'Sucre' (sugar), Café (coffee), ‘Thé’ (tea) and 'Poivre' (pepper). 

Made of aluminium, all of the jars show minor signs of wear and age, with odd patches of discolouration and some minor dents and knocks, most notably on the base rims of and handles of the lids, most likely from where they were knocked when in daily use. There is also some mild surface wear and scratches. 

Overall, though, this is a great vintage set of French kitchenalia which would look great on display, and is also great for day to day use in a vintage or rustic styled kitchen. The contrast of the brass labels really stands out and makes these canisters a little different to most you find.
