Two lancets and shagreen case,circa 1790
Green shagreen (rough,granular surfaced leather) lancet case with two tortoiseshell lancets. Lancets are double-edged surgical blades with a pointed end. These instruments were often used in eighteenth century medicine to open a patient's veins for bloodletting. This was a common practice in medicine until the late nineteenth century and was believed to 'treat' a range of ailments by removing surplus bodily 'humours' (fluids within the body). These lancets and their case are English and date from around the year 1790
