The House of Antiques has dated this Antique Medical Anatomical Chart to the 1920s.
What a wonderful visual statement.
A true statement piece of wall art, it combines a subtle twist of the macabre with minimalist styling and a wonderfully weird appeal. Soft pastel colours contrast beautifully with the bold, anatomical detail, while the original Adam Rouilly stamps add authenticity, history and character.
Striking, unusual and undeniably intriguing, this is a piece that will command attention wherever it hangs.

Condition Report
With areas of staining, aged repairs and original fold creases that have naturally weathered over the years, this original lithographic poster is a rare survivor.
The poster has recently been sympathetically framed in a glass-fronted display frame, allowing it to be both protected and presented to great effect. Repairs are visible to the upper section of the poster; however, these appear to be historic and have aged naturally along with the surrounding paper, resulting in the tonal and colour variations visible in the photographs.
Despite its obvious age and previous use, the poster remains in remarkably presentable condition. Its imperfections, wear and historic repairs form an important part of its character and authenticity, making this a particularly rare and evocative surviving example.
