Apothecary Cabinets

Drawers gone mad!  Apothecary cabinets have been around for centuries and there are many reproductions out there.  But here are the originals!  Chinese doctors used these cabinets as early as the 1800’s to store their medicinal roots and herbs.  Each of the many drawers was then labeled accordingly.

Times have since changed and we now have our pill popping containers with lids that even an adult can’t sometimes open!  Enjoy the photos.

    I love these! I had an opportunity to buy one once, but passed it up. I didn’t know what I’d do with all those drawers. They’d be great in a kitchen, but with my tiny space – that ain’t happenin’.

    I am obsessed with cabinets with lots of little drawers. I don’t know why, but I am. Some genetic aberration I suppose.
