Antique Early 1900s Prosthetic Leg

Antique early 1900s French prosthetic leg

This antique prosthetic leg was crafted in France, presumably for a war victim during or shortly after the First World War. It consists of two wooden sections connected by a functional mechanical joint, showcasing early medical engineering.

A rare and striking artifact, it makes a remarkable addition to any medical collection, historical display, or cabinet of curiosities.

After more than a century, the prosthesis remains in used but stable condition, showing the expected signs of wear consistent with age and use. It has been treated with antique wax, and all leather components have been cleaned and conditioned with leather grease to preserve their integrity.
