About the Item
Pair of 19th Century Art Nouveau Haircombs in Gold and Tortoiseshell, Portugal, circa 1880. A rare and exquisite pair of antique haircombs, crafted in lustrous tortoiseshell and crowned with intricately chased yellow gold mounts. Each comb is adorned with a delicate foliate motif, set with rose-cut diamonds, rubies, pink spinels, and cabochon turquoise. The goldwork displays exceptional refinement and a lyrical asymmetry characteristic of the late 19th century.
Jewels of this nature were once cherished as both status symbols and elements of courtly fashion—surviving today as precious relics of Art Nouveau elegance.
