Antique Victorian Mahogany Cased Cupping Set with Three Brass-Fitted Glass Cups, 19th Century Bloodletting
$495.00 USD
A Victorian mahogany-cased cupping set fitted with three graduated glass cups with brass valve fittings. Cupping — drawing blood to the surface with exhausted glass cups, with or without scarification — was a mainstay of regular medicine into the late 19th century, and cased sets like this equipped both surgeons and barber-cuppers. A complete, displayable set in its velvet-lined case; bloodletting instruments remain among the most sought-after of all medical antiques.
