VINTAGE MITCHAM LAVENDER BOTTLE COMPOUND LAVENDER OIL BY FLOROGEN (c. 1930s–1950s)

PRICE: £18

A charming and beautifully preserved British domestic apothecary bottle, showcasing the rich horticultural heritage of Mitcham—historically renowned for producing some of the finest lavender oil in the world. This slender, cylindrical clear glass bottle retains its original cork stopper and a 4cm level of its original golden-hued oil contents.
The front face features its original paper label in exceptional condition, with clean typography reading: "COMPOUND LAVENDER OIL / FOR THE PREVENTION OF INSECT BITES / FLOROGEN, MITCHAM".
The clarity of the glass coupled with the warm golden tone of the remaining liquid gives this delicate piece excellent visual and display appeal, perfectly capturing the mid-century transition from traditional herbal remedies to commercial aromatherapy.

Condition: The clear glass structure is in pristine condition, completely free from chips, cracks, or internal clouding. The original cork is present and secure. The paper label is remarkably well-preserved, remaining entirely intact, clean, and fully legible with virtually no historical wear.

Dimensions:
  • Height: 8.5cm (9.5cm including cork)
  • Diameter: 1.9cm

Please note: This vintage artifact is sold strictly as a decorative and collectable object for display. The historical liquid contents are obsolete and not intended for contemporary cosmetic or medicinal application.
