Exceptional collection of nine antique apothecary bottles, individually sourced and thoughtfully assembled into a striking decorative composition. The bottles vary in height, silhouette and proportion, creating a beautifully balanced arrangement of green glass with an unmistakable historical presence. The collection includes small pharmacy bottles, taller storage bottles, narrow-necked vessels and rounded forms, each reflecting the practical diversity of the traditional chemist’s shop. Their variations in size suggest that they were originally used for different preparations, quantities and dispensing purposes. Some may have held medicinal mixtures, tinctures, botanical extracts, aromatic preparations or other pharmaceutical compounds commonly prepared and sold by apothecaries. The rich green coloration is one of the most characteristic features of the group. During the 19th century, green and blue-green glass was widely used for pharmacy bottles, particularly in Europe and Britain. The color was associated with traditional apothecary glassware and, in some cases, helped protect light-sensitive contents. Green bottles were also used for substances that required visual distinction within the pharmacy, although color alone does not identify a particular medicine or poison. Ribbing, unusual shapes, special stoppers and printed or embossed warnings were often used for that purpose. These bottles belong to the world of the Victorian pharmacy, when an apothecary was simultaneously a medical practitioner, chemist, compounder and retailer. Medicines were prepared in small quantities, measured by hand and dispensed in containers selected according to the substance and the required dosage. Before standardized industrial packaging became widespread, the bottle itself was an essential part of the medical experience. Their forms also reveal the evolution of glassmaking. Many antique pharmaceutical...

This is an early Russian orthodox travelling Icon, hand made of bronze, which we date to 18th Century or earlier. The bronze icon is cast with a main rectangular slightly curved shape with a smaller rectangular tab section above. The reverse has a hanging spigot cast into the top tab section. This piece has a mix of colours within the bronze with the high points being worn and shiny from wear and use.

There are other details on the icon including letters and numbers towards the top of the main rectangle. The tab section is also decorated. The reverse also carries decoration but is quite worn. Overall an early and very interesting Russian bronze Icon...
