Corrosive sublimate - Bichloride of mercury
Antique pharmacy bottle made of blown glass and enameled painted label.
Red POISON label
Signaling to the pharmacist that it is imperative to keep apart the other substances in the cabinet of toxic substances, the famous poison cabinet.
Laboratory or pharmaceutical dispensary bottle, typical of the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.
Made of blown transparent glass, it has a trace of pontil visible on the bottom, reflecting traditional artisanal manufacturing. It has its original cap honed with emery.
Beautiful enamelled label stenciled surrounded by a brown/red border. This baked enamel technique guaranteed great resistance to handling and chemicals in the pharmacy. A red regulatory label marked "POISON" is applied at the bottom, indicating the poisonous nature of the substance.
The bottle features a double vintage labeling: on the front face, the enameled label, and on the back, the red paper label from the supplier pharmacy (Darper Frères, 13 rue Pavée in Paris) explicitly bearing the mention "Sublimé Corrosif" and the "POISON" banner.
Corrosive sublimate, its other name, was one of the most powerful and feared antiseptics and disinfectants of the 19th century and early 20th century.
While it was used to sterilize surgical equipment, it was also applied in solution directly on patients to disinfect wounds or skin conditions.
In cases of overdose or overly concentrated application, it caused violent chemical burns, instantly "cooking" and necrosing living tissues and mucous membranes.
This caustic power came with a lethal risk: mercury crossed through damaged skin to irremediably destroy the kidneys and induce fatal renal failure.
Height of the bottle: 11cm with blown glass cap - Diameter at the base: 4cm
Dating: 19th century
