Product description:
This distinctive cocoa tin, designed for 500 grams of cocoa from the Amsterdam-based brand Sickesz, dates from 1900-1920 and is a stunning example of Jugendstil packaging design. The square tin, with rounded corners and a hinged lid, features a warm brown-toned background richly decorated with atmospheric blue-toned scenes.
The front showcases the inscription "Sickesz Cacao, Amsterdam Holland", accompanied by a picturesque depiction of a drawbridge, a country path, and water— a quintessentially Dutch landscape. The back presents a similar scene, featuring a rural setting with a church, surrounding houses, and a small bridge in the foreground. The sides contain usage instructions in Dutch, English, French, and German, indicating that Sickesz also catered to international markets.
The hinged lid is attached with a pin hinge and features a sharp edge resting on the rim. The base includes an extra profile ridge for reinforcement, and the longitudinal seam is folded. The lid is adorned with a striking image of a woman wearing a traditional Zeeland cap, a nod to the product’s Dutch heritage. This tin was produced by Bekkers & Zoon, Wed. J. (Dordrecht), a renowned manufacturer of metal packaging.
