FAQs

A veterinary fleam was a traditional medical instrument used by practitioners and farriers to perform bloodletting on livestock such as horses and cattle.

These instruments were commonly constructed from brass and steel blades, frequently accompanied by protective leather cases.

Authenticity is generally identified through period-appropriate hand engraving, natural brass patina, maker signatures, and traditional forging techniques.

Such pieces are often displayed within glass-topped display cases, shadow boxes, or on bookshelves alongside other curiosities.

Preservation involves maintaining a stable low-humidity environment and avoiding harsh chemical cleaning to protect the original historic patina and surface oxidisation.
