Curiosity: Medical Instrument Set For Cryotherapy: Cryocautery By Maison Drapier
Artist: Drapier
Attractive Drapier dermatological cryotherapy case in blue shagreen.
Inside the case, the flap is upholstered in off-white silk-like fabric and the interior in brown felt with gold braid. Inside, a cryocautery by Docteur Lortat-Jacob, stamped with the Maison Drapier trademark. Also inside, eight copper tips and 1 charging tip. This set corresponds to the sets sold by Maison Drapier under reference 29318 in its 1929 catalog, but must have appeared in catalogs in the 1920s.
