Traditionally known as “a poor man’s apothecary,” one’s garden was used to grow and pull spices, herbs and the like to create medicinal remedies, oils and extracts. In a home that did not lodge a full cabinet dedicated to apothecary drug needs, drawer and caddy versions sat upon window ledges in washrooms.
A simple version of an apothecary cabinet, our apothecary caddies are meant to act as a portable cradle for lotions, essential oils, powders and various other washroom needs.
Also available with a flame-blackened finish.
- Sustainable Oak, Maple, Walnut, or Blackened Maple from south-eastern USA
- Finished with tung oil
- Available in 3 sizes

Our Iris Painter’s Palette was inspired by the ivory palettes used by the ancient Egyptians. Constructed from sustainable maple and vegetable-tanned leather, the palette is a simple way to transport your favorite paints, whether you mix your own pigments or squeeze them from a tube.
The Iris fits in both the Classic and Mini Sendak Artist Rolls.
In the wise words of Annie Dillard, “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.” At Peg and Awl, we are working to facilitate the making of art everyday and anywhere with objects that make packing and transport easy, whilst looking quite handsome.
The wood is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC-certified wood was harvested from forests that are responsibly managed by environmentally conscious companies.
