Red POISON label
Signaling to the pharmacist that it is imperative to keep apart the other substances in the cabinet of toxic substances, the famous poison cabinet.
Laboratory or pharmaceutical dispensary bottle, typical of the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.
Made of blown transparent glass, it has a trace of pontil visible on the bottom, reflecting traditional artisanal manufacturing. It is equipped with its original cap honed with emery, ensuring a perfect fit with the neck of the bottle.
Beautiful enamelled label stenciled with golden highlights, framed by a blue and gold net. This baked enamel technique guaranteed great resistance to handling and chemicals in the pharmacy. A red regulatory label marked "POISON" is applied at the bottom, indicating the poisonous nature of the substance.
At the turn of the twentieth century, this bottle contained one of the most formidable compounds in pharmacopoeia.
Combining the deadly violence of cyanide, an absolute poison immortalized by the masters of the noir novel and notably by Agatha Christie, with the toxicity of mercury.
This product was used in preparations intended to treat the cutaneous manifestations of syphilis.
In reality, it was a real "deadly placebo": the most clairvoyant doctors of the time knew the ineffectiveness of these treatments, but continued to prescribe them for lack of alternatives, subjecting patients to terrible toxicity.
Handled by the pharmacist with absolute rigor to the nearest milligram, the product remained extremely dangerous: an application poorly dosed on a lesion or an ingestion error led to a violent and sudden death in a few minutes.

Red ‘POISON’ label
Indicating to the pharmacist that it must be stored separately from other substances in the cabinet for toxic substances, the famous ‘poison cabinet’.
It comes from the former cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not been moved from the shelves since the late 1950s. The cellar had served as a medical analysis laboratory and a laboratory for the pharmacy’s compounded preparations from 1900 until around 1950.
