Antiseptic device for disinfecting surgical or dental instruments, silver-plated metal, Western Europe, late 19th - early 20th century Silver-plated metal and glass. Dimensions: 160 x 42 x 40 cm. Vertical instrument disinfection unit with a cylindrical upper reservoir, a central body with a double-leaf glass door, and a structure raised on a curved shaft and tripod. Inside, horizontal trays or supports hold the instruments, while the upper section features functional elements related to the heating or circulation of the antiseptic agent. Its design combines technical utility with refined industrial style, evident in the openwork borders, turned finials, and the careful proportions of the whole. The craftsmanship reflects the aesthetic of scientific and medical instruments from the transition between the 19th and 20th centuries, when hygiene and antisepsis acquired a central role in clinical practice. It is notable for its typological rarity, structural integrity, and its significance as a testament to specialized professional equipment.
