An English Barrister's Wig in Tole Box (With Riser)
About the Item
Lawyers and judges started wearing wigs around 1680. For 150 years, the legal wig was usually of powdered white or grey hair.
In 1822, Humphrey Ravenscroft invented a legal wig made of whitish-grey horsehair that did not need frizzing, curling, perfuming or powdering.
