A remarkable contraption designed to correct nasal deformity or septal deviation. It was completely ineffective and had only a brief window of popularity in France in the early 20th century. The metal device was held in position over the head and nose with an elasticated band and the screws were then tightened so as, in theory, to correct any deviation from the midline. A rather beautifully engraved and and attractive little folly from medical history.
