Description
A set of 3 early 19th century boxwood pill rounders. They are turned from a single piece of wood with a raised rim and incised line decoration. Each one is double sided and provides a variety of different sizes.
Pill rounders or finishers were used by apothecaries to round pills after they were made by placing them under the pill rounder which was then moved in a circular motion, applying slight pressure to the pills. They would then be placed in a pill silverer.
They are in good condition for their age with no major damages. They have developed a beautiful colour and patina through years of use. There are some minor knocks and marks and a couple of small splits but nothing detrimental and they display well.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
