Antique French 19th Century Jewelry Box Flap Door Miniature Wood Cabinet
Located in Firenze, IT
This beautiful French late 19th century chest of drawers in black ebonized wood and cherrywood reproduces with perfect proportions in scale a miniature cabinet with three drawers and an upper flap door that opens to reveal a white marble top and an oval mirror inside, nice hand carved band on top with geometrical pattern and molded base. The black lacquered wood creates a wonderful contrast with the beautiful honey-colored wood grain. Despite its convenient size, extremely detailed, this chest of drawers is equipped with a white Carrara marble top and a small mirror that make it even more special and useful. The model of a piece of furniture was originally created by cabinet makers to show their skills to the customer and to present the sample of the furniture which would then have been produced on a larger scale. These commode miniatures, along with other specimens, were displayed in the craftsman's workshop to serve as examples to aid the potential client in making a selection. Some also think that these little chests were used as doll and puppets...

19th Century Dutch Medical Apothecary Pharmacy Turned Boxwood Treen Pill Gilder
Located in Haarlem, NL
19th Century antique medical apothecary pharmacy turned treen boxwood pill gilder. Egg or aubergine shaped boxwood turned lidded cup on a stand. The cup and stand are made from one piece of wood, so is the lid with knob. Pill silverers or gilders were used throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th century to finish pills with a silver or gold coating. The pharmacist would coat the pills with a liquid, placed them inside the pill gilder, filled it with silver or gold leaf or silver or gold powder, put the lid on and he would shake and spun until the pills where coated with a nice layer of silver or gold. In the 17th, 18th and 19th century it was believed that a medicine worked better if it was coated with gold or silver. Of course, only wealthy customers could afford this expensive way of coating pills to camouflage the bitter taste of the medicine. This nicely shaped pharmaceutical piece would make a great addition in a curiosity cabinet or a medical antiques...
