N Wilson Antiques Clocks has dated this Georgian Mahogany Apothecary Chest to the Georgian era.
The top has a nicely moulded edge which opens to reveal four bottles.
Below is a cupboard and when the door is opened this reveals six compartments over seven various drawers which all have lids when pulled out one of the drawers containing a glass pestle and mortar whilst others contain mixing bowls.
To the rear is another door, which can be access by first lifting the lid (which releases the lock) and then unhooking the door. This reveals eight compartments containing bottles.
DIMENSIONS: The approximate MAXIMUM dimensions are: 10 1/4 inches / 26 cm wide x 8 3/4 inches / 22 cm deep x 11 3/4 inches / 30 cm high.
CONDITION: The chest is in lovely condition as can be seen from the photographs especially considering this is over 220 years old and has been a working item , just minor knocks / marks, and a couple of stains commensurate with age and use and which can be viewed in the photographs. One of the door hooks is lacking and a second hook has part of the hook lacking however each door has a hook still in place. All except two of the stoppers are fast although we have not applied much pressure to the stoppers. To the rear one bottles has a stopper lacking. To the rear the little upstand is lacking on the top shelf. Please study photographs carefully as they form part of the description and condition, as what you view is exactly what you will receive.
Please see my other items as I am selling my collection of medical instruments and apothecary boxes.
