Van Nelle's coffee and tea tin with classic illustrations

This rectangular tin, originally designed for Van Nelle coffee and tea, is finished in a deep, warm red that immediately catches the eye. The tin is richly illustrated all around with classic advertising images: the lid depicts a man and woman enjoying coffee, with the imposing Van Nelle building behind them. In the center is the text "Van Nelle's Stoom Koffiebranderij en Theehandel" (Van Nelle's Steam Coffee Roasting and Tea Trade), framed by elegant details.

The sides depict various scenes that further the story, including a shop interior with coffee and tea, tableware, and the inscription "Van Nelle's Koffie Thee" (Van Nelle's Coffee and Tea). The De Rijzende Hoop brand is also depicted, giving the tin additional character and recognizability. The illustrations are vibrant and clearly printed, with beautiful color contrasts.

The tin shows visible signs of wear, such as slight wear along the edges, small scratches, and damage to the hinge side. This is consistent with intensive use and underscores its authentic, weathered character. The interior is gold-colored and empty.

A striking and decorative tin that looks great in the kitchen, on a shelf, or in a display case. It's also perfect for storing coffee, tea, or other items, or as a collector's item for lovers of vintage advertising and Dutch brands.
