Antique wooden box for herbal medicine - Samples of plants, seeds, bark etc.
Box from a collection from the 1930's by a pharmacist in Central France and kept in the attic of the pharmacy.
The box is made of light wood (fir?) and almost always has a handwritten label with the name in French and Latin, as well as the classification, but sometimes the label is missing.
Contents: seeds, leaves, bark, roots, tubers, petals, flowers, gum, resin, mushrooms, lichen, moss etc...
Various sizes between 3.5cm (small size S), 4.5cm (medium size M) ,6.5cm (large size L) - Not all boxes are exactly this size.
As the collection comprises 199 samples, it is impossible to list it here. You will receive a random box. Surprise on arrival!
