Brocante Brabantia gingerbread tin in ecru white

Description
Old metal ecru-white gingerbread tin from Brabantia from the 50s/60s. With a silver-colored handle on top and a flap closure on the side. The tin stands on two narrow metal legs. The biscuit tin does have signs of wear, but considering its age the tin still looks reasonable. With this kind of old cookie tins you can rightly speak of a beautiful brocante look.

This gingerbread tin is still complete with the original accompanying cutting board and is of course still great to use. A nice specimen for the country or farmhouse kitchen. There are ventilation holes under the handle, so that the cake or gingerbread stays nice and fresh.

Brabantia is a company founded in the Dutch village of Aalst and manufactures metal and plastic household products. Today, the head office is located in Valkenswaard, North Brabant. Production no longer takes place in the Netherlands.

The company started in 1919 with 15 employees under the name Van Elderen & Co. It was originally a metal goods company that supplied to agriculture and the cigar industry: milk sieves, buckets, funnels, watering cans and cigar tins.

When it was founded in 1919, the company was named "Van Elderen & Co". After some time the name changed to "Van Elderen's Metalware Factories Brabantia". From about 1941 the first part of the name has been omitted, and it is only "Brabantia". Brabantia is the Latin word for Brabant (Dutch Province).

Brabantia was founded in 1919 in the Dutch town of Aalst by a group of 15 people. A family business pur sang. Then and now. With a firm belief in honest products, made by people with a heart for quality. Ideas focused on sustainability - designed for living.
