Description
Vintage coffee tin De Roode Pelikaan. Equipped with a separate lid. The beautiful pelican design of this coffee canister hasn't changed since the last century. The design is identical on both sides, albeit that one side is Dutch and the other side is French.

The decoration of this tin consists of a beautiful color combination of red, black and gold.

The typical Antwerp coffee brand Roode Pelikaan quietly disappears from the streets. It was renamed abroad for the chic "Pelican Rouge". The story begins more than 150 years ago in the 19th century in Antwerp. In 1863 Joseph van Leckwijck and his sons started a coffee roasting company called the Continental Society for Roasting Coffee. Here they learned the art of roasting coffee, all under the original brand name "Red Pelican". Roode Pelikaan once, together with other brands such as Rombouts, Beyers Koffie, Miko and others, designed the grandeur of Antwerp as an international coffee port.

Roode Pelikaan has been part of an international group since 1983 that focused on the rental of coffee machines.
