About the Item

This Victorian hair comb features a faux tortoiseshell body paired with a 14k gold border. The top of the comb is curved to provide it a graceful shape that sits naturally when worn. Delicate openwork scrolls and foliate motifs are carved into the upper section. The gold trim frames the carving, lending the piece a touch of formality that was typical for hair accessories of the time. Though it mimics the look of natural tortoiseshell, the material is imitation, making it a more ethical choice while still capturing the era’s aesthetic. This piece likely once was worn with a formal attire, and it still offers a glimpse into the detail focused dress of the late 19th century.
