Edwardian Hair Comb - Dark Tortoiseshell Effect (SOLD)
Here we have a hair ornament dating from the beginning of the 20th Century, say 1900 to 1910 at a guess. This is a great comb made from celluloid to imitate dark tortoiseshell. It is a good size, measuring just over 6 inches from the decorative top to the tip of the tines or prongs and is almost 4 inches across at its widest point. With five good prongs or tines, this comb is beautifully curved so it will sit well in your hair. Even though it could be around 100 year's old it is in perfect order and robust enough to wear and use. The pierced open design is very attractive and the colours are mottled mainly a deep brown with flashes of golden honey so this vintage hair accessory would look good on black hair, red hair, blondes and brunettes. It would be a wonderful addition to any vintage costume jewellery and accessories collection too.
