Old box containing a dense collection of glass pharmacy vials, tubes, boxes and bottles, presented in a wooden box (without lid). The set is distinguished by the diversity of its containers and the richness of the handwritten and printed labels, including a beautiful central amber vial still legible ("Poudre Ostréo-Calcique"), as well as several tubes with identified granules and preparations ("Scolopendrum", "Guaco", "Quassia amara", "Rosa"...). The presence of different types of bottles, varied formats and preserved contents (powders, granules, residues) reinforces the authentic and evocative aspect of an old laboratory. A complete composition of 23 pieces, visually very strong and immediately usable for display.
