| A B S I N T H E O R I G I N A L S Authentic Absinthe Antiques from La Belle Epoque. Buy Original Absinthe Spoons, Glasses, Saucers, Fountains and more... |
Banned for almost a century until its recent revival, absinthe is something of a “living fossil”, a coelecanth amongst drinks, able
to magically transport us back to the glittering world of Paris and the Belle Epoque, a world of bohemian musicians and writers,
of the Moulin Rouge and the cafes of Montmartre, a world of starving struggling artists and glittering courtesans.
All that remains today of this fabled era are the ghosts of the Green Fairy...absinthe antiques and absinthiana... slotted spoons
for holding the sugar cube, dose-marked glasses, advertising carafes, matchstrikers or pyrogenes for the grande marques,
absinthe advertising posters, manufacturers catalogues and postcards.... echos of La Heure Verte a century ago.
Absinthe Originals is the premier source for these precious relics of a forgotten era. Few collecting fields are
more fascinating and rewarding - long cherished by knowledgeable collectors in France and Switzerland, the
accoutrements of the absinthe era are now also avidly collected by artemisophiles in the US and Canada, the UK,
Australia and Japan.
All our antiques are guaranteed genuine vintage pieces from the absinthe era. We do not sell replicas on this site, nor do we
sell so-called "post-ban" items, made for use with pastis or anis (unless specifically identified as such). Our secure online
ordering system, powered by Paypal, allows you to pay using any credit card, even if you don't have a Paypal account!
Our impeccable packaging guarantees the safe arrival of even the most fragile items. We offer a money back guarantee if
you're not completely satisfied with your purchase.
