Description

Eau de Dalibour

Antique pharmacy bottle.

Beautiful handwritten labels from the period.

Eau de Dalibour was a local antiseptic, astringent and drying agent, mainly used in dermatology to cleanse and treat skin conditions that were infected or at risk of becoming so.

The ‘DANGEROUS’ label and the green colour of the labels warned the pharmacist of the product’s danger; indeed, this is a bottle of the concentrated, undiluted solution. At this concentration, copper sulphate is highly irritating to the mucous membranes and becomes a powerful emetic (and potentially toxic) if ingested by mistake. Similarly, highly concentrated zinc sulphate poses a risk of toxicity if taken orally.

It comes from the former 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.

Height of the bottle: 22.5cm
