ABOUT PRODUCTID 15204
This Victorian-era female prosthetic hand, crafted by Gillingham & Son in the 1890s, exemplifies the technical artistry and historical authenticity of late 19th-century English medical design. The piece consists of two distinct parts: the forearm and cuff, constructed from naturally grained, light cognac-brown leather, and the hand itself, precisely shaped from pale hardwood. The leather section is distinguished by a subtle satin-matte finish and regular, hand-stitched seams along the edges. The forearm terminates with a brown leather lace threaded through characteristic black metal grommets, evoking the elegant look of late Victorian ladies’ gloves. The wooden hand features individually jointed fingers, each segment connected by hidden pins to allow delicate articulation. The wood displays a gentle, aged patina and refined, anatomical carving in both palm and fingers. The overall form is defined by thoughtful, harmonious proportions, rooted firmly in the Victorian aesthetic of grace and restraint. Condition: excellent for its age—there are only minor traces of gentle wear consistent with age and handling, with all original elements intact and structurally sound. This prosthesis carries the quiet narrative of late Victorian England—a moment in the history of craftsmanship where the boundaries between function and dignity were explored. The soft sheen
