The Victorian period saw a rise in the importance of personal grooming, particularly among the upper and middle classes. Manicure sets became popular, and the cuticle pusher was an essential component of these sets. The tool was designed to gently push back the cuticles, keeping nails neat and well-maintained. This practice was considered an important aspect of personal hygiene and a reflection of one's social status.
