Vintage Canadian Baribocroft Maple Wood Kitchen Cannister Set

$155.00

Where do you begin when describing these four incredible cannisters - you start by wishing today’s internet had the ability to share smells. Sounds crazy, I know, but with these cannisters you can still smell the tea, coffee and sugar they once held. It is amazing and I wish you could experience it - it is one my favourite things about these four wooden gems.

Baribocroft, the company that made these cannisters, was based in Quebec, Canada so you have another magical element. On one side stamped into the beautiful maple wood are the French labels - Farine, Sucre, Café and Thé; the other side, the English labels - Flour, Sugar, Coffee and Tea.

For a set of four cannisters, most likely from the 50s, they are they simply heart warming, igniting all your senses in the most wonderful of ways.

    All four cannisters are made of Canadian maple and are stamped on either side of their longer side with their relevant label, both in English and French.

    All four have lids with a small knob in the centre.

    The largest cannister is stamped on the base Baribocraft.

  • The overall condition of all four cannisters is excellent considering they have clearly been used for their purpose. It sings to the quality of their make.

    I have also not overly cleaned them as I do not wish to remove the evidence of their use. It adds to their magic.

  • Mid-century certainly, rustic potentially - but character filled absolutely. These four cannisters would not look out of place in any of today’s modern kitchens.
