Description
28" x 17" x 18". A wooden-framed apothecary shop
has a painted faux-brick red exterior with large
shop windows and door framed in wooden block
"stones" that are painted dark green to match the
base and roof line. Decorative green-painted
wooden columns with gold accents are affixed to
the front,and the paneled front door is natural
wood. The front hinges open at the center,and the
front door with cast brass handle opens
separately,if desired. The interior is painted its
original green with dark green and red stripes at
the ceiling line. The shop windows are deep
cabinets that are accessed by sliding-glass from
the top. A wooden cabinet with 24 drawers that
center a mirrored set-back display niche,and eight
lower cabinet doors lines the back wall. There are
two attached wooden shelves on the sides and a
wooden bin with open compartments. The floor is a
rich inlay design of various woods in an intricate
design. The shop is fitted with a vast array of
apothecary bottles in amber and clear glass,many
with original labels in old German language,along
with numerous cardboard boxes with handwritten
labels,and various glass beakers and funnels,cast
brass mortar and pestles. A wooden counter has an
attached cast brass scale,and an early carton
gentleman with painted features and original
costume stands in attendance. Original finish is
well-preserved; overall excellent with some few
very minor wood repairs on the interior cabinet.
Germany,mid-19th century,in the early Christian
Hacker style. An exceptional and wonderfully laden
shop with rare-to-find theme.
