A spicery was the office in a medieval or Renaissance[1] household responsible for spices, as well as the room in which the spices were kept. It was headed by a spicerer. The office was subordinated to the kitchen or the wardrobe, and existed as a separate office only in larger households. It was closely connected with other offices of the kitchen, such as the saucery and the scullery.[2] The term is largely obsolete today, and if used at all is more often simply a synonym for spices.[3]
