About the Item
Mid-Century Oliver K. Whiting of London Waste Bin/Trash Can with Classical Composer Portraits of Bach, Brahms & Beethoven
Dimensions: 16″ H × 13″ W × 7″ D
Label: Oliver K. Whiting of London
A rare and whimsical mid-20th-century waste bin by Oliver K. Whiting of London, featuring printed portraits of celebrated classical composers set against scores of their music. Rendered in a warm sepia palette with gilt accents at the rim and base, the surface design includes depictions of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827), Johannes Brahms (1833–1897), and other masters, all framed within passages of engraved sheet music.
The oblong form, measuring 16 inches high, is both practical and highly decorative, making it suitable for use as a wastepaper basket, magazine holder, or sculptural conversation piece. The condition shows the gentle wear consistent with age, adding character to the printed textile surface and underscoring its vintage authenticity.
Oliver K. Whiting produced a distinctive range of decorative household goods in London during the mid-20th century, often with playful or educational motifs. This example is especially appealing for its musical theme, merging mid-century British design with a reverence for classical heritage.
Uses & Appeal:
Ideal for a music room, library, or study where its motifs can resonate with musicians and collectors alike.
A thoughtful gift for a composer, conductor, or music historian.
Perfect as a quirky mid-century design accent, bridging utility with cultural reference.

Round carved wooden box with its key - Beethoven profile medallion - 19th
Located in Beuzevillette, FR
Louis XVI style carved wooden jewelry treasure box. The wood is carved in relief with foliage decoration all around, and the profile of Beethoven is very nicely and finely carved on the lid,
This profile in a circle and the play of colors and textures of the wood gives a medallion in the taste of the bronze work of Jean Bertrand Andrieu.
The interior is in green silky fabric.
La Boite is also in the style of T. Hingre's bronze work. Louis-Théophile Hingre (sometimes known as Théophile Hingre) is a sculptor, modeler and medal engraver.
The wood of this pretty round box is beautifully and finely carved. Beethoven's profile like the scrolls are sculpted with great precision and delicacy.
Ludwig von Beethoven is a German composer, pianist and conductor, born in Bonn on December 15 or 16, 1770 and died in Vienna on March 26, 1827 at the age of 56.
The last great representative of Viennese classicism (after Gluck, Haydn and Mozart), Beethoven prepared the evolution towards romanticism in music and influenced Western...
