Belle Epoque era absinthe antiques are often expensive, and sometimes,
because of their fragility, not suitable for everyday use. For many absintheurs,
the answer is high quality replicas, lovingly recreated from rare orginals. A
wonderful range of these are now available, at very reasonable prices.
The premier source for high quality absinthe-related antiques and artworks.
These include original Belle Epoque posters and prints, absinthe carafes and
fountains with publicity markings, absinthe glasses and saucers, and a wide
range of authentic absinthe spoons and grilles, priced from $45 to several
thousand dollars.
An ever-expanding range of high quality reproductions of many of the rarest, most beautiful and most
interesting posters, artworks and photographs in the Oxygénée collection. Most of these images are
not available elsewhere on the web, and many are based on unique originals. They range from
gorgeous art-nouveau creations - Absinthe Robette, Absinthe Blanqui, and Absinthe Rosinette all
come immediately to mind - to whimsically humorous images like the famous Absinthe Bourgeois
"Chat Noir" and Absinthe Barth's cheerily monocled society gent, to the sometimes frightening but
always compelling posters produced by both the pro- and anti-absinthe movements.

The well known Virginia-based artist Kirk Burkett brings his skills as a master craftsman in silver
and his passion as an absintheur together in this extraordinary range of sterling silver absinthe
grilles and spoons. These highly original and beautifully worked pieces are the first modern
rethinking of a classic absinthe artifact in over a century, and have been greeted with acclaim on
both sides of the Atlantic. These gorgeous pieces are exclusively available through the Virtual
Absinthe Museum.

Vintage absinthe is far rarer than ancient cognac, pre-prohibition bourbon, or
any other vintage spirit. Every surviving bottle is a precious relic. No more than
a few hundred people on earth have tasted even a sample of vintage absinthe
(most of them via this website), and only a few dozen have been privileged to
own one of the few remaining sealed bottles. We continually search throughout
France, Switzerland and Spain for these bottles - when we occasionally find
them, they sell immediately to clients on our waiting list. Click on the link to
find out more, and to add your name to the list.

The Absinthe Spoon The premier source
for fine replica spoons, glasses and fountains.
Almost from the very outset, motion picture producers found a lucrative niche producing
films with an anti-alcohol message. As the much demonized focus of the French
temperance movement, absinthe was soon given a starring role as villain-in-chief.
After years of painstaking searching in libraries, archives and private collections in Italy,
France, Holland and the US, Oxygénée has tracked down some of these forgotten relics
from the dawn of the motion picture era - restored and digitally remastered, they are now
available here, in most cases for the first time since their initial release nearly a century ago.
