AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An impressive, authentic antique bronze apothecary mortar dating from the 17th or 18th century (c. 1650–1750), likely originating from Western Europe (the Low Countries or Germany).
This piece immediately stands out due to its exceptional weight and sleek, timeless design. The mortar was cast using traditional methods from a rich copper alloy and subsequently expertly finished on a lathe. Fine, authentic concentric turning marks and the original center point remain beautifully visible on the interior and the underside of the base.
Specifications:
Material: Solid cast bronze
Dimensions: Height 16.3 cm | Rim diameter 14 cm
Weight: An impressive 6,778 grams (exceptionally heavy and solid for its size)
Design: A restrained yet powerful form featuring a wide, sturdy disc base and a slightly flared rim.
Condition: In very fine, authentic condition, boasting a beautiful, aged dark patina, slight traces of historic copper oxidation, and characteristic signs of use that underscore its great age and artisanal casting process.
A magnificent, robust, and decorative collector's item for enthusiasts of antique bronze or the history of pharmacy, or as a striking statement piece in a classic or modern interior.
Your item will be carefully packaged and shipped with full track and trace for your peace of mind; local pickup is also warmly welcomed in Ekeren (Antwerp), Belgium.
