| Authentic Absinthe Antiques from La Belle Époque Buy Absinthe Spoons, Absinthe Glasses, Vintage Absinthe, 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.
