Description: A good example of a cranioclast or craniotomy forceps signed “Matthews London” made in steel and guilloché ebony, circa 1860s’.Craniotomy forceps were also known as cranioclasts. They were heavy toothed or ridged crushing instruments for breaking up the skull bones of a foetus. They were destructive tools. Cranioclasts were a last resort after the foetus was dead. The foetus may have died during the pregnancy or during a difficult labour.Despite a crack at the ebony, a very good classic example.
