19th century

Sold by Puckerings

Description

A magnificent example of an early apothecary cabinet in solid Mahogany and dating to around 1800 and retaining the original key.

The key keeps everything locked away, with the lid holding pins down keeping the front and rear doors secure until the box is unlocked and the lid lifted.

Once the lid is lifted, a fully fitted interior is revealed with long bottles, a scale, weights, and the original stored ceramic tablet. There is an old family medicine book, later, as it is dated 1850 and the box is certainly older than that, Georgian in era.. The front door can be opened to reveal a double bank of bottles and four drawers below with a variety of glassware.

The rear is traditionally where poisons were stored and has six large bottles intact.

Excellent period condition with wear commensurate with age. 9" x 7 3/4" x 10 1/2" tall.
