Oak apothecary counter – 1920

This apothecary counter opens at the front with a double sliding glass door providing access to a storage space, with adjustable glass shelves, flanked by a mirror. The body below is paneled, the fluted columns are enhanced by consoles with fine scrolls, delicately crafted. The whole is topped with a gallery of turned spindles accompanied by a small platform bearing the number 17, which was once used to display a statuette in spelter. The opposite side of the piece is fitted with numerous drawers, compartmentalised, whole or clad in metal, of different sizes, each adorned with a metal handle. Two large niches are also present. Antique, practical, ideal for organising items while offering a work surface and storage space, this apothecary counter is the perfect example of the craftsmanship of cabinetmakers from the early last century. ******** Period: 1920.
