Description

A fabulous piece of early 20th-century British craftsmanship , this painted apothecary cabinet once served in the chemist shop of Bell & Co., London, established in 1870.

Crafted in mahogany with a rich reddish-brown finish, the cabinet features twin glazed doors with stunning reverse-painted gold and blue signage. The hand-lettered shelves are labelled for Ointments, Potions, Balms, and Creams.

Fitted with its orignal glass handles and standing on gently curved cabriole legs, this piece would have originally housed medicinal goods and shop stock. Today, it serves beautifully as a striking ad display cabinet for interiors, collectors, or boutique retail spaces.

We believe that the painting has been retouched over the years making it a later addition.

Date of Manufacture

D and A Binder Ltd has dated this Antique Apothecary Cabinet to the 1910s.

FAQs

Edwardian apothecary cabinets were utilised in early 20th-century chemist shops and pharmacies to store and display medicinal bottles, ointments, and herbs securely behind glass doors.

These cabinets were typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, featuring glazed double doors, internal shelving, and hand-painted signage or gilded lettering on the glass.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate joinery, original glass with minor imperfections, period hardware such as glass or brass knobs, and natural patina consistent with age and commercial use.

An apothecary cabinet works well as a statement storage piece in a kitchen, home office, or living room, serving as a functional display case for collections, glassware, or curiosities.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to protect the wood and painted details, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber.
