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...

Figural wooden carving of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Immaculate Conception). Carved in folkloric style, this well-preserved statue retains its original coat of polychrome paint. Its flesh tones, light-blue, and silver-gilding vividly shine through a natural patina that has become glossy from a century’s worth of handling. The Virgin as the "Immaculata" (conceived in immaculate purity), is posed on the globe of the world, in triumph over sin, represented by the serpent that tempted Eve with a forbidden apple. The sculpture's facial features include glass eyes and eyelashes. This rare antique sculpture is perfect for a collection of sacred antique...

Exceptional collection of antique English ink bottles in a beautiful range of pale blue, aqua and blue-green glass. Individually sourced and thoughtfully assembled as a unified group, the collection brings together bottles of different shapes, proportions and sizes, creating a highly distinctive composition of historic writing vessels. The color is traditionally known as aqua glass, one of the most characteristic colors associated with 19th-century English bottle production. It is sometimes described as pale blue-green, sea-glass green or blue aqua. The color was produced naturally by the minerals present in the sand and other raw materials used in glassmaking, rather than being applied as a surface decoration. Slight differences in tone, transparency and density are part of the beauty of antique aqua glass...

Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait painting, circa 1840 We are proud of our acquisition of this authentic masterpiece by Ammi Phillips (1788-1865). The finely rendered portrait depicts an attractive young girl in a delightful lifelike quality. The pretty face is a refreshing change from the stern expressions of most of the paintings showing mature female or male sitters. Phillips palette is dark with a strikingly dramatic use of light to her face. The painting, on its original stretchers, is in untouched condition. The frame is period. This painting is unsigned, as are most of his works, but bares the unmistakable characteristics of a Phillips painting. Portrait of a young girl holding a book and wearing a golden whistle. From the New England estate of the renowned Folk Art Collector and scholar, John Bauer...
