Dr Arnott's Collection

Dr Arnott, known for his unorthodox methods, was not your typical apothecary. His approach to examining his patients' health was as unique as it was unconventional – he would meticulously analyse their urine, scrutinising its colour, scent, and yes, even its taste!

Within our Apothecary collection, you'll discover an assortment of 17th century medical tubes, preserves, and apothecary jars that might just astonish you with their unexpected burst of flavour.
