Description

19th century portable pharmacy - Apothecary cabinet

Very nice wooden cabinet with the flap that lifts up.

The interior is layered in amphitheater with 3 floors of bottles of different sizes.

Consisting of 14 bottles present, 1 is missing, there should be 15 normally. I added a bottle of acetic acid of the same origin, the bottle is full but the cap is blocked.

The inside of the flap is covered with a red felted fleece.

The lower part is made of a drawer divided in 3.

Interior height of the drawer: 7.5cm

Handles and locks in brass. There is no more key. Very nice condition.

A beautiful antique cabinet for any collector of pharmacy bottles! A beautiful piece that is more and more rare.

Dimensions of the trunk: 26x43cm Height: 29.5cm

Comes from the estate of a wealthy family of railroad engineers, settled in St Chamond in the Loire.

The bottle of ammonia is always full, the cap is blocked, impossible to open it to empty it.
