A rare and evocative piece of French pharmaceutical history, this antique apothecary bottle once contained “Perles de Créosote de Hêtre” – beechwood creosote pearls, a historic remedy used for its antiseptic and expectorant properties in the late 19th to early 20th centuries.

This clear glass bottle features its original French label from the Droguerie Générale du Sud-Ouest, located in Castelsarrasin and Agen.

The typography and faded patina give it incredible visual appeal, ideal for collectors of antique medical items, curiosities, or vintage French décor.

The bottle is in good antique condition with signs of age-related wear, including foxing, minor staining, and partial label wear – all contributing to its authentic charm.

A fine decorative display piece from an era when chemists and pharmacists produced their own bespoke remedies.
