Medicine chest, large, leather covered, probably made for Vincenzo Guistiniani, Genoese Governor of between 1562 and 1566
Some of the bottles contained within this elaborate medicine chest still appear to have their 16th-century contents, including compounds such as rhubarb powder, juniper water and mustard oil.
