Absolutely AMAZING BOX Looks like mahogany !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This
is a late 1800's or my be early 1900s mahogany apothecary box/chest.
These were taken by the physician to the patients home where the potions and
tinctures etc were compounded.
measures 11x6x6 inch
British........ I bought it there.
Reduced from $299 !!!!!!!!!
The top came partly off but has been carefully re-glued without being apparently done.
The top has multiple cracks and marks (picture 7) as expected from a box that is over 100 years old.
It retains the original purple felt inside.
The bottom felt has degraded and I would add a new piece (as seen in the last picture) if the buyer wishes at no additional cost.
No bottles (can be found on ebay) or other items but still very nice piece.
Check out pictures for complete description.
