Antique 19th Century French Fleam Knife
This rare medical instrument was crafted in the late 1800s by the French maker Oger A Couterne. Fleam knives were commonly used by physicians and barbers for bloodletting, a now-obsolete practice once believed to “relieve stress from the heart” and treat various ailments.
Today, it stands as a fascinating relic of medical history – a tangible reminder of how different healthcare once was. It would make a remarkable addition to any medical collection, museum display, or cabinet of curiosities.
Despite being over a century old, this fleam remains in good condition. It shows light signs of wear consistent with age, and over the years it has developed a subtle oxidized patina that enhances its character and authenticity.
