Description

Iode Bi-Sublimé - Bi-Sublimated Iodine

Antique 19th-century blown-glass pharmacy jar

It comes from the old cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not been moved from the shelves since the late 1950s. The cellar had served as a medical analysis laboratory and a laboratory for the pharmacy’s compounded preparations from 1900 until around 1950.

In pharmacies during the 19th and early 20th centuries, this pure iodine was mainly used to prepare the famous iodine tincture (iodine dissolved in alcohol).

The label reading ‘DANGEROUS – FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY’ is entirely justified, as iodine tincture was the primary antiseptic of the time for the skin and wounds, but ingesting pure iodine is highly toxic and corrosive to the digestive mucous membranes.

Height of the bottle: 21cm Diameter: 9.5cm
