About this pattern

A wooden apothecary cabinet with twelve small drawers in three rows of four. Every drawer has a blank white label and a small gold knob, and the cabinet stands on two feet under a golden top board. On the top are a corked bottle of green potion at the left, a grey stone mortar with its pestle in the middle and a jar of purple powder with a gold lid and a blank label at the right. Nothing is lettered. A dark brown outline closes every part and runs between the drawers. Full crosses only. It is 49 by 52 stitches and uses ten thread colors.

49 stitches wide by 52 high: 1,960 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 7 more).
