"In the old pieces of furniture almost as in the old paintings, dwells the charm of the past, of the faded which becomes stronger in a man when he reaches an advanced age." - ADALBERT STIFTER

Adair, Dutt & Co. was founded over a century ago in order to represent European laboratory and medical equipment manufacturers in India. While the company was originally incorporated in England, the Indian arm emerged as a freehold company in 1949 following India’s independence.

This apothecary cabinet, made in Germany, bears a plaque with the engraving "Adair, Dutt & Co., Ltd. London, Calcutta, Bombay, Madras". Made of iron, brass, glass and mirror, this vintage cabinet stands atop four casters and was once used for storing pharmaceutical products.
