The Pharmacist's Drawer
An antique solid-wood drawer from a pharmacy cabinet that can be used as a storage box.
Found in Parisian cellars that served as laboratories and storage areas for pharmacists to prepare their compounded medications from the 1900s to the 1950s.
Originally, it was likely part of a storage cabinet or desk that no longer exists; only a few drawers remain, which were used to store products, blank pharmacy labels, and other office items in this cellar.
As the drawer served as a storage box, it is period-authentic with signs of wear, such as streaks, stains, etc. See photos
