An original French wooden crate once used to transport chocolate, retaining its bold printed branding on 3 sides. Carefully cleaned, waxed and polished in our South Devon workshop, it's ready for its next home while still preserving all of its original character. Complete with a lift-off lid, this is a wonderfully practical piece that works just as well as a small coffee table as it does for storing shoes in a hallway, blankets in a living room or children's toys.

More About This Piece

Original advertising crates like this were built to withstand years of transport and are becoming increasingly difficult to find. We particularly love the bold Chocolat Pupier lettering, which gives the crate plenty of personality without being over the top.

After a careful clean, the timber has been finished with a natural wax to enrich the colour of the wood while protecting it for everyday use.

Condition

This is an original vintage crate and displays signs of age and use consistent with its history. Minor knocks, marks and imperfections are all part of its originality. It has been cleaned, waxed and polished, ready to enjoy. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

Why We Love It

We always enjoy finding pieces that are both useful and full of history. This crate is one of them. It makes a brilliant coffee table with hidden storage, keeps shoes neatly tucked away in a hallway or works equally well as a blanket box beside a sofa. The original French advertising is simply the icing on the cake.
