| Early 19th Century Dyed Horn Comb with Flowers This c. 1810 - 1830 early 19th Century comb is a bit of American history. These combs were made by traveling comb makers using clarified cow horn, that was then hand sawed into shape. Just as in tortoise, which the horn was dyed to mimic, the lighter the color of the horn, the more desirable the comb. This might be left plain or then hand dyed with floral motifs. Definitely a pre Industrial Revolution endeavor. This comb has particularly sharp definition to the flowers and is a very clear horn. A fine hand was involved in the making. Size: Width: 6" Height: 5 1/2" Condition: 2 teeth are missing, one end tooth has been repaired. Because of the length of the teeth, missing ones are common on combs of this age. Price: $145 |

1900 Victorian Amber Celluloid Hair Comb
This small Victorian hair comb is a two tone deep amber celluloid with linear spokes and dots on a shaped body. The stones are a strong golden yellow. And this has a nice three dimensional curved shape. It would curve away from the head when worn, I assume to leave room for the hair piled up in front of it. |
