A Set of Eight 20th Century Antique Industrial Riveted Steel Bins from France Circa 1920
pm-1212
A French set of early 20th Century industrial metal storage bins of rectangular form, originally used in workshops and factories for storing and transporting parts, materials, or coal. The bin is constructed in heavy steel with reinforced edges, exposed rivet detailing, and a sturdy fixed handle for lifting and repositioning.
The surface shows a beautifully aged patina with oxidation, tonal variation, and wear from years of use, giving it strong character and an unmistakably utilitarian look.
Pieces like this were commonly found in early to mid 20th century industrial settings such as manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and depots, where durability and function were essential.
Today, it works beautifully as a decorative object and can be repurposed as a planter, log bin, storage container, or sculptural accent in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Wear consistent with age and use.
