2 Antique Large Pewter Enema Syringe / Clyster with Wooden Handle – 19th Century
Impressive and authentic 19th-century pewters (tin) enema syringes, also known as a clyster.
These large hand-operated medical instruments features a heavy cylindrical pewter body with characteristic raised rings, a long metal plunger rod, and an original turned wooden handle. The tapered nozzle is intact and hollow.
These syringes were commonly used in the 1800s for administering enemas to both humans and animals. A fascinating and decorative piece of medical history.
First one:
Details:
Material: Pewter / tin body, wooden handle
Condition: Good antique condition with expected surface wear, scratches and patina. No major damage. Plunger moves freely.
Length: 60 cm (including handle)
Age: Circa 1800–1900
Weight: 1830 g
Second one:
Examples of this size and completeness — particularly with the original wooden plunger still present — are increasingly scarce on the market. Most comparable pieces offered for sale measure only 45–50 cm.
A striking and conversation-worthy addition for collectors of antique medical instruments, apothecary items, or unusual historical artefacts.
