Red ground, pink roses, lace doily shadows, gold hearts everywhere. Peek Freans at their most romantic.
Peek, Freans & Co. Ltd — London's beloved biscuit maker since 1857, purchased by Nabisco in 1982 — produced this exceptionally pretty octagonal tin, rare in both shape and design. The deep red ground is covered in pink roses tied with pink ribbons, set against an elaborate lace doily background. Tiny golden hearts scatter across every surface; some roses are accented in gold. Tall and substantial, clean and shiny inside. Embossed on the bottom: Container Made in England. One small dent towards the bottom, barely noticeable.
A wonderful Valentine's Day display piece, a romantic gift tin, or simply a decorative object that earns its place on any shelf year-round. Genuinely hard to find.
