Early 20th-century homeopathic cabinet from Laboratoire Normal Homéopathique, 48 Boulevard des Batignolles, Paris 17ᵉ.
A complete practitioner’s case containing over a hundred numbered glass vials with original corks and paper labels, neatly arranged in a velvet-lined box. The printed reference chart inside the lid details each “synergique”—homeopathic blends organized by bodily systems from les fébrifuges (fever) and les arthritiques (arthritis) to les cérébraux (brain) and les angio-cardiaques (heart).
The word “Syntonisation,” embossed on the lid, evokes the idea of harmonization—the tuning of the body’s internal systems back into balance. Likely dating to the 1920s–1930s, this set would have been used by a Parisian physician or pharmacist, serving as both a diagnostic tool and a teaching aid. Today it stands as a fascinating intersection of science, medicine, and design—with crisp typography, fine French paper, and a disciplined order that speaks to another era of care and craft.
