Edwardian to 1920s Dark Faux Tortoiseshell Hair Comb (SOLD)
This is a lovely decorative comb made from celluloid to imitate dark natural tortoiseshell or horn. It is a nice wearable size, measuring just over 5.25 inches from the decorative top to the tip of the tines or prongs and around 3 inches across. This comb is very decorative and it 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 design is very attractive. In the centre there is a basket of rose like flowers and from this there is a kind of trellis with randow roses leaves and swirls. The colours are mottled from a deep brown through to 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.
