French
cupping set c.1890-1910
Late 19th century or very
early 20th century french cupping set. Note the very simple design, the lack of
attention to decoration and the switch towards clean lines and a more
utilitarian item. This item was probably manufactured very close to the decline
of bleeding as a treatment thus the lack of wear to the item.
Irish
Cupping Set 1850
Nice hardwood boxed cupping
set. The box is lined with purple velvet and has a nice unmarked copper
cartouche on the lid. The scarificator is marked Lamprey, Dublin. The 1850
census from Dublin Ireland lists a Jones Lamprey as a cutler working at 29
Westmoreland St.
