Apothecary Ferris & Co Cabinet of Dispensing Tins
Antique Apothecary Ferris & Co 19th Century Mahogany Cabinet of Dispensing Tins
Circa 1890
Manufactured by Ferris & Co of Bristol, UK.
Named - The Ever-Ready Caddy
An open front mahogany storage cabinet containing all of the original 16 storage tins.
Each tin is painted in the stunning bright green colour with printed advertising wording for the Ferris & co brand.
This is the medium sized example of the units made by Ferris & co and holds two different sized tins. Ferris & Co made this unit in four stock sizes.
The tins were used for surgical dressings - The reverse side of the tin are the paper labels allowing the user to easily & quickly identify what tin holds what. All but one paper label is still present and legible which is quite amazing after all the years of use in what would be a very busy environment.
As seen in the Victorian 1899 apothecary diaries book - Basically a catalogue of products sent to pharmacy’s to purchase from.
Along with a diary and lost of advertising pages.
This fantastic and rare example would have sat counter top in a local pharmacy or surgery.
The maker's trade label is inset below the drawer.
A must have for any apothecary collector.
