Niemeyer
Behind this tin lies a rich history. Niemeijer BV, once a thriving family business, began its journey in 1819 as a trade in colonial goods, including tobacco. Over the years, the company expanded from the production of tobacco to coffee and tea.

During turbulent times such as the Great Depression and World War II, Niemeijer BV managed to survive by adapting and being innovative, with products such as surrogate coffee and tea substitutes.

Although the company was forced to cease coffee and tea sales in the 1960s due to increasing competition, the legacy of Niemeijer BV lives on in pieces like this vintage tobacco tin.

Add a touch of nostalgia to your interior with this beautiful piece of history, a tribute to an era of craftsmanship and tradition.
