An old box containing a set of pharmacy glass vials and tubes, arranged in a small wooden box (without lid). The original handwritten labels mention old preparations and experiments with precise indications, sometimes dated, which dive directly into the world of medical research from the early 20th century. The preserved contents – granules, powders, or residues – associated with the patinated glass and worn cork stoppers, give the set a strong, almost raw presence. A composition of 18 pieces, authentic and immediately evocative, ideal for display.
