Antique Painted Metal Poison Cabinet with Etched Glass, Shelves & Key – Early 20th Century Medical Cabinet A rare and characterful antique painted metal poison cabinet, dating from the early 20th century (circa 1910s–1930s). Made in the United Kingdom for use in chemist shops, it was designed to comply with the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, which required poisons to be stored securely. This cabinet has an original painted finish in cream/white with visible age wear. The glass-fronted door is deeply etched with the word “POISON” and retains its working lock with key. Inside are two glass shelves and the rear of the cabinet has sturdy wall-mount brackets. This is a fantastic display or collector’s piece, perfect for interiors with an industrial, apothecary, or curiosity aesthetic. ConditionGood antique condition with expected signs of age and use. The paint shows areas of flaking and chipping, mainly inside, consistent with age. The glass is intact, and the etched lettering is well preserved with attractive depth and texture. The shelves are secure and removable, and the lock and key are in working order. EraEarly 20th Century – Edwardian to interwar period (c.1910s–1930s).
