Gapers composite
height varying up to approximately 70 mm
width varying up to approximately 40 mm
Depth varying up to approximately 40 mm.
Wooden cabinet
height approximately 60 cm
Width approximately 40 cm
depth approximately 8 cm
A gaper served as a billboard for pharmacists to attract customers, but also as a quality indicator for the store.
Initially, this sign was placed on the canopy, but from the 17th century onwards, it was increasingly attached to the facade, especially in Amsterdam.
The gape's mouth is not open to yawn, but to take medicine.
The grimace of many gapers can be explained by the fact that the medicine tastes bad, or at least that is the prevailing opinion.
Will be shipped immediately after auction and carefully packaged.
We wish you much success in bidding on this unique collection.
