Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

An apothecary carboy, also known as a chemist show globe, is a large glass container traditionally displayed in pharmacy shop windows filled with coloured liquid to signal the trade to the public.

Carboys from this era were typically hand-blown from clear glass, featuring teardrop or pear-shaped bodies, slender drawn necks, and ground glass stoppers shaped like teardrops or flames.

Authentic pieces exhibit minor hand-blowing variations such as air bubbles, pontil marks on the base, ground glass fitting points on the stopper, and subtle irregularities in wall thickness.

Position the carboy on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or window sill where light can pass through the liquid, creating visual warmth and focal interest within modern dark academia or eclectic settings.

Wash the interior with lukewarm water and mild dish soap using a flexible brush, ensuring the glass is fully dried before re-sealing to prevent mineral deposits or moisture clouding.
