    Description

    Rare Briet Paris gas siphon
    The appliance is used to prepare small quantities of seltzer water or certain carbonated drinks for household use.
    It consists of two ovoid glass balls wrapped in a cane cane to protect against shocks.
    With this model, it was possible to obtain a liter of seltzer water from a pulverulent mixture of 18 g of tartaric acid and 21 g of "baking soda".
    This device, the invention of which by Briet dates back to 1840, was not only used in the manufacture of seltzer water. Recipes were proposed to make sparkling mineral waters such as Vichy water, sodas, lemonades and even sparkling wine ... The advertising of the time specifies that he was admitted to hospitals and hospices in Paris and approved by the medical academy.
