Description
Some objects don’t need to speak to tell a story.
This 1950s vintage oil can, painted in a bold, timeworn red, once lived a very different life. Maybe it stood quietly in a dusty garage in rural France, watching a mechanic repair tractors and old Renaults. Or maybe it stood proud at a countryside gas station, catching glimpses of life as Citroëns rolled by. We’ll never know for sure. But now, this piece of the past is ready to be part of your story.
With its impressive size (58 cm tall, 34 cm wide and deep) and authentic aged patina, this collectible oil tin isn’t just vintage—it’s lived. It’s the kind of object that gives soul to a minimalist space, or completes a retro industrial interior with effortless charm.
Let it sit atop an open shelf. Place it beside a mirror with a rusty frame. Or let it spark conversation from the corner of an entryway. However you use it, this 1950s French oil can adds character, color, and just the right amount of imperfection.
And if you’re wondering, why an old oil can? Because in a world obsessed with the new, sometimes the most intriguing piece is the one with scratches, dents, and a past.
Come see it in person at our physical store—or check how it might transform that forgotten corner in your home by browsing online.
Maybe it’s exactly what your space has been missing all along.
