Bring an authentic piece of Belgian home care heritage into your home with this rare vintage tin of Het Bieke Polishing Wax , originally from the factory at Cederlaan 42 in Wilrijk (Antwerp). The tin features a warm yellow finish with deep blue typography and a detailed side illustration, the brand's iconic logo.
The packaging lists extensive applications in both Dutch and French: suitable for floors, furniture, cars, motorcycles, buffets, continuous fires, lacquered and painted doors, shoes, and more. The text "Removes stains, cleans and scrubs everything" provides a nice snapshot of household products from the early 20th century. According to the label, a guarantee coupon system was even offered, a detail that gives this tin extra character and collector's value.
The tin has a sturdy screw cap and a weathered patina with rust and blemishes, befitting its age and use. An ideal item for collectors of vintage household items, industrial decor, packaging design, or Belgian nostalgia.
