A late
19th early 20th century leather bound child's wrist
splint signed by Rainal Frères which is reinforced on
either side with wavy blued steel supports. The both
surfaces are lined with fine leather which has been
perforated to allow ventilation. The splint would have
been secured in place by winding ligature or tape
through the corset style hooks. The Rainal brothers (Léon
and Jules of 23, Rue Blondel and 236-238, Rue
Saint-Denis Paris) were renowned makers of quality
orthopaedic corsets and between 1825-1925. Dimension
16 x 23 cm. |
