Vintage Bentley’s “Art Collection” Fruit Bonbon Tin – Renoir Boating on the Seine, c.1980s–1990s
-
A charming vintage collectible from Bentley’s of London, this oval fruit bonbon tin forms part of the brand’s celebrated Art Collection series, created in collaboration with the National Gallery. The lid features a beautifully reproduced image of Boating on the Seine by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919) — one of the Impressionist master’s most iconic scenes of leisure and light along the French riverbanks.
-
This elegant tin captures the spirit of Renoir’s brushwork, with gentle blues, shimmering water, and soft gold accents around the border. The sides are finished in deep maroon with gilt trim, and the base retains the original printed label with multilingual text and Bentley’s Confectionery details.
-
Originally produced to hold fruit bonbons (125g / 4.40oz), it now makes a delightful decorative display piece, small storage box, or collector’s item for lovers of fine art, vintage packaging, and confectionery memorabilia.
