Vintage Clothing & Accessories:Antique:Hair Combs, Ornaments
A superb antique ornamental hair comb from the Georgian era (c.1780-1830) in blond shell with a silver mount of diamonds and an emerald, making up a floral spray. This work is typically French, masters of mounting diamonds in silver. We are uncertain if the origin is French or English, however. No marks on the work that we can detect, which is not unusual for these very old pieces. The diamonds are small, rose cut (very old cut) and they shimmer and reflect light beautifully, just as they ought ...

We can't seem to keep this type of chignon pick/comb or hair ornament in inventory, and each time we get one, it's gone before we know it.

Vintage Clothing & Accessories:Antique:Hair Combs, Ornaments
Must have been quite a 'Dandy', the original owner of this beautiful little tortoise shell comb for his moustache grooming, don't you think so?

This is a small folding vanity comb, fine toothed as one expects for a moustache, though there is the remote possibility it was actually a nit-picker comb, or one for head lice. YIKES!
