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.

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!

Rock Candy
Antique Apothecary Bottle of Rock Candy – Coopération Pharmaceutique Française (circa 1930–1940)
It comes from the former cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had remained untouched on the shelves since the late 1950s. The cellar served as a medical analysis laboratory and as a laboratory for the pharmacy's compounded preparations from 1900 until around 1950.
It still contains large crystals of rock candy (Saccharum candi), perfectly preserved.
