Antique Early 1900’s Prosthetic Leg

Antique early 1900’s French prosthetic leg

This prosthetic leg has actually been worn and made it possible for its wearer to walk again after losing his, or her leg. It was made in France in the beginning of the 20th century.

It’s an unique oddity that would be the perfect addition to any medical collection or cabinet of curiosities!

After more than a century the prosthesis remains in used condition and shows signs of wear and time.
Over the years it acquired a nice patina which only adds more charm to it! Sadly one of the small leather straps next to the joint is torn.
The prosthesis is treated with antique wax to give its surface a protective layer and a subtle glossy finish. All leather parts have been cleaned and treated with leather grease.

Measurements:
Length leg: 82 cm
Length foot: 28.5 cm
