This mannequin would once have had a stand
with his great elongated body seeming poised and ready to take off swimming
And I really love the bright blue bell in this one
Really wonderful dark patina from use
7 1/16" t x 3 7/8" w x 4 1/8" d and in pretty good shape
Early 1800s John Moore, Chemist to the King, Double Sided British Apothecary Chest graphic prints This mannequin would once haveI splurged some on this one, but I'd never come across another in person quite like it, and certainly have a predilection for things that hold lots of surprises and have the potential to hold more! The paper label on the underside of the lid reads "John Moore, Chemist to the King, Covent Garden," which of course makes it feel extra grand, and I have since found a couple of other examples of this specific apothecary case out there one at Bonham's, 1500
