Two Fancy Baroque Style Side Combs

Ref: VT-1208-002

Here we have a handsome due or two pretty side combs made in the typical style of the mid to later 20th century. Both feature a formalised floral design which is one of the most popular treatments in comb headings of this period.

The first comb features a formalised cluster of pink and blue pear shaped faux pearls combined with scrollwork. The companion piece has three large flowers made from red and gold tone metal with large spherical faux pearls set in the centres.

The final illustration is taken from a contemporary ad in American Hairdresser 1960 and shows contemporary hair accessories in the elaborate Baroque style.

Vintage Czech Multi Rhinestone Side Comb

Ref: VT-0109-005

This handsome little side comb was hand made in the Czech Republic in the mid to later 20th century. It has a brass comb mount with split prongs and an elaborate heading set with two oval millefiore design cabochons. These are surrounded by red and clear prong set rhinestones.

The neo Baroque style is typical of Czech jewellery and harks back to an earlier period of production and design for which this part of Europe was famous. The comb is in excellent condition and appears to have never been worn.

The last illustration is taken from a contemporary hair comb ad in a magazine dating from the 1950s  and shows a similar design.

Size: 2¼ x 2¼ ins (approx 5.5 x 5.5 cms)
