1900s Celluloid and Rhinestone Edwardian Hair Clips
Description
This exquisite pair of antique hair combs date from the 1900s but could conceivably be a bit later, say late 1910s. Manufactured of early celluloid and paste stones and likely made in France or America who excelled at high quality production.
Each comb is comprised of early plastic with a faux tortoise shell effect in rich amber tones. They each have three rows of rhinestone crystals set into an art nouveau crescent style design at the top. The combs secure with multiple straight prongs to enable the hair to stay in place.
In excellent antique condition with no issues; it is increasingly rare to find a matched pair which have been lovingly stored together and cherished for over 100 years. These beautiful pieces would look perfect worn in an up-do or as side combs and would be perfect as bridal accessories.
