An antique amber glass pharmaceutical bottle, still sealed with its original stopper and cap stamped Poulenc Frères, still containing its dry calcium chloride. The lithographed label explicitly mentions the Poulenc Frères company, along with medals and awards, including two Grand Prix Paris 1900, allowing for a reliable dating to the very end of the 19th or the very beginning of the 20th century. The typography, the industrial presentation, and the cap bearing the monogram PF bear witness to the foundational period of French pharmaceutical chemistry, before the creation of Rhône-Poulenc. An authentic, intact bottle of significant decorative and historical value.
