This section brings together our archive of sold laboratory antiques, a historical catalogue comprising scientific instruments, laboratory equipment and experimental apparatus that were previously available at Antiguedades.es and are now part of private collections, universities, museums, research centres and scientific institutions. This archive provides an insight into the evolution of many of the instruments that contributed to the development of physics, chemistry, optics and other experimental sciences.
Among the pieces that have passed through our gallery are precision balances, spectroscopes, polarimeters, saccharimeters, alcoholmeters, hydrometers, measuring instruments, scientific glassware, graduated cylinders, test tubes and numerous devices used in laboratories, educational institutions and industry during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Many of these instruments retained their original cases, graduated scales, optical components, accessories or makers' plates, features especially valued by collectors and historians of science.
This archive reflects the transformation of laboratories, from the earliest instruments inherited from the alchemical tradition to the sophisticated scientific apparatus that drove modern research. Each piece stands as a testament to the progress of scientific knowledge and to the importance of observation, measurement and experimentation in the development of modern science.
This archive should be regarded as a historical catalogue of sold laboratory antiques rather than an active sales section. If you would like to browse the pieces currently available, please visit our antique laboratory equipment for sale, where we regularly add carefully selected scientific instruments.
The instruments preserved in this archive are a valuable source of information for researchers, teachers, scientists, collectors and historians. They make it possible to compare manufacturers, materials, measuring systems, technical solutions and designs that shaped the evolution of scientific research and experimental education over more than two centuries.
If any of these instruments serves as a reference for a future acquisition, please feel free to contact us. We will be pleased to let you know whether we have a similar scientific instrument available or notify you when a related laboratory antique is added to our catalogue.
