19th Century Grocers Bins %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
exceptional and rare pair of 19th century toleware grocer’s bins, each richly hand painted and steeped in historical significance. These beautifully preserved metal storage containers not only reflect artistry craftmanship of Victorian trade but also serve as powerful visual symbols of commerce, heritage, and social prestige.

The first bin proudly bears the Royal Coat of Arms, complete with the iconic lion and unicorn flanking the crowned shield, and the motto “Dieu et mon droit” below. This Royal emblem was often used by businesses with official ties to the Crown, suggesting that this bin may have belonged to a grocer holding a Royal Warrant or serving a high-status clientele.

The second bin bears the Coat of Arms of the Worshipful Company of Grocers, one of the most venerable livery companies of the City of London. Two majestic golden griffins guard a central shield topped by a camel – an emblem of trade and exotic goods, perfectly reflecting the global reach and influence of the Victorian grocer.

Both bins are finished in a rich green ground with bold, decorative scrollwork and feature hinged lids with latches. Their surfaces exhibit charming signs of wear, some sympathetic restoration and professional repair to underneath. These pieces are rare to find as a pair, particularly with such crisp and vibrant heraldic imagery intact.

Perfect for display, or as a unique statement piece in a modern interior with an appreciation for antique charm and storytelling.
