Cupping Set Antique French

 

An attractive late 19th century cupping set with four cups, a suction pump, connector and scarificator in a mahogany box. The centrally placed cup is a breast cup which was a common feature in French cupping sets. The cup on the right is not original to the set but is a seamless match. There is no makers mark on the instruments but this set French in origin and typical of the sets made by Charriere. The red leather lined lid of the box shows faint lettering and the top line is difficult to make out but the second line reads "Buenos Aires" which was where the set would have originally been retailed.
