Vintage Decorative Crimson & Cream Tin, Lord and Lady in Courtly Love Scene

Collectibles : Metalware : Vintage Tins : Containers : English

 

If you long for the civility and grace of eras-gone-by, this charming decorative tin is for you! The renaissance theme of the central medallion is of an elaborately dressed lady and gentleman engaged in 'courtly love' - he is serenading his lady-love as she hides behind her fluttering fan. The colors on this tin and lovely. The background is a pale yellow bisque with crimson bands around rim, bottom and encircling the top of the lid. The raised, embossed medallion on the lid has a fancifully scrolled border and a crimson inset. The gold metallic and cream colors of the romantic couple contrast nicely against this crimson field. Red, stylized flowers decorate the sides and gold dots cover the lid.

Measures 8 1/4" x 6 1/2" x 2 1/2" and is in very good condition with minimal scratches and wear. The interior is clean. There is some tarnishing along edge of rim and bottom (ca. 15%) and light scuffing on bottom. There is one small (1/4") raised rust blemish on the far right of the medallion near the scrollwork

A wonderful addition to your collection and perfect for storing your treasures - vintage buttons, small memorabilia..or love letters! Thanks for taking time to visit!
