Pair of Vintage French Metal Gouache Paint Tins – La Pebeo & Omnigouache
Add a splash of nostalgic charm to your creative space with this pair of vintage French metal paint tins, once trusted by artists and now full of vintage soul. Though the original gouache paint tubes inside are dried up and no longer usable, both tins remain wonderful pieces of art history ideal for display, collecting, or studio styling.
The La Pebeo tin, with its classic mid-century design, features a removable metal tray that cleverly transforms the tin into a portable artist’s palette perfect for plein air painting in its day. Inside the lid, you’ll find evidence of past creativity with visible paint test marks, adding a lovely touch of character and authenticity.
The smaller orange Omnigouache tin, also French-made, boasts bold graphics and a removable tray (without a finger hole for handheld use). It too contains the original Omnigouache branded paint tubes, now dried but visually striking. Paint marks inside the lid reflect years of use and artistic flair.
Both tins show gentle age-related wear, from patina to scuffs charming signs of their artistic past. Whether styled on a shelf, added to a vintage art supply collection, or used as a prop in your studio, these tins tell a quiet story of creativity and craft.
