Pharmaceutical bottle "Codex 1884 – Darrasse Frères"

White glass pharmacy bottle with an old label from Darrasse Frères establishments, bearing the inscription "Codex 1884", a direct reference to the French pharmaceutical codex from the late 19th century. This type of marking indicates a preparation conforming to the official formulas in force at that time. The main label, now heavily altered, still shows the manufacturer's name and its Parisian location. Thick internal deposits and traces of oxidation give the whole a very marked patina, typical of bottles actually used in laboratories or pharmacies.
