A fabulous piece of early 20th-century British craftsmanship , this painted apothecary cabinet once served in the chemist shop of Bell & Co., London, established in 1870.

Crafted in mahogany with a rich reddish-brown finish, the cabinet features twin glazed doors with stunning reverse-painted gold and blue signage. The hand-lettered shelves are labelled for Ointments, Potions, Balms, and Creams.

Fitted with its orignal glass handles and standing on gently curved cabriole legs, this piece would have originally housed medicinal goods and shop stock. Today, it serves beautifully as a striking ad display cabinet for interiors, collectors, or boutique retail spaces.

We believe that the painting has been retouched over the years making it a later addition.
