Description from the seller

Rare Collection of 8 Old Enamelled Pharmaceutical Labels - A Dive into the History of Pharmacy from the late 1800s to early 1900s.

From my private collection, I present to you an exceptionally interesting find for lovers of antiques, the history of medicine, and vintage design: a collection of eight ancient pharmaceutical labels in white enamelled metal. These unique pieces, likely dating from the late 19th century, are fascinating witnesses to a bygone era.
Once, these tags adorned the drawers of ancient pharmacies, serving to identify medicines with elegance and precision, often indicating the plant of origin or the specific preparation. Today, finding such a complete set in these conditions is a true rarity on the market, making them a 'must-have' for every collector.

Each tag is a small jewel of craftsmanship, with white enamel that retains its ancient charm while showing the natural and subtle signs of aging. These signs are not flaws but tell their long story and authentic lived experience, giving each piece a unique character. The attached photographs show its condition in detail, which is generally good.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to acquire an authentic fragment of history and design. This collection of pharmaceutical tags is not just a purchase, but an investment in a piece of rare beauty and historical value.

Perfect for embellishing a studio, a themed library, a historic pharmacy, or simply adding a touch of original elegance to any environment, these plaques are not only beautiful to look at but also serve as an intriguing conversation starter.

The shipment will be entrusted to a well-known courier, with tracking service and insurance to ensure maximum safety and peace of mind. The packaging will be carried out with the utmost professional care, using specific protective materials to safeguard the integrity of these delicate historical artifacts during transport.
