Description

Box of cocaine lozenges

Menthol - Cocaïno - Borate

Rare and superb antique pharmacy box made of lithographed sheet metal.

This box comes from the pharmacy of Dr. M. Holler, formerly located at 10, Place d'Armes in Maubeuge (Nord).

Its lid features a magnificent graphic design typical of Art Nouveau (period 1900-1910) with organic lines and asymmetrical vegetal volutes.

The richness of its chromatic palette combining a vermilion red background with a mosaic effect, a water-green cartridge and a golden decor makes it a witness of remarkable printing quality for the time.

From 1900 to 1950 it was not uncommon to see cocaine as an ingredient in certain pastilles, notably for throat ailments.

This box is a precious memorial witness of the Place d'Armes in Maubeuge, which suffered heavy destruction during the two World Wars and has now disappeared.

Very beautiful decor

Signaling to the pharmacist that it is imperative to keep apart the other substances in the cabinet of toxic substances, the famous poison cabinet.

It comes from an old cellar-laboratory in a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not moved since the late 1950s on the shelves. The cellar had served as a laboratory for medical analyses and a laboratory for magistral preparations of the pharmacy from 1900 until around 1950.
