Amputation and Trephination Set by Capron, Paris ca 1780.
This ebony handled surgical set is
from the last quarter of the 18th century. Made by Capron, Paris. This firm
was in business well into the 19th century. The decorative neurosurgical
instruments and heavy amputation saw with downturned handle point to an
early date for this large set. Note the large sturdy tourniquet.
