A group of Chemist / Pharmacy Items
THESE ITEMS ARE FOR HIRE ONLY.
During the 19th century, the pharmacy or apothecary was part of the main hub of every town or village. As this was before the National Health Service, the people would rely on their local chemist for advice, and, if they were lucky enough to afford a doctor, their prescriptions. Medicines were generally stored in glass bottles or jars, these came in various colours of glass.
This group of items would have been suitable for a gentlemans study , and would also have been found in a Chemist or Pharmacy .
The group consists of :
4 x leather ledgers with gold lettering
A small set of mahogany drawers
An Oak and brass inkstand with quill pen
Brass pestle and mortar
Oak test tube stand with test tubes and bottles
Candlestick
