Step into the elegance of the early 1900s with this extraordinary Art Nouveau celluloid hair comb, crafted in a warm tortoise-brown hue with a beautifully translucent golden fan crown. This ornate piece features intricate openwork scrolls, delicate florals, and a sweeping fan silhouette — all accented with brilliant royal-blue glass rhinestones that shimmer across each carved panel.
This style of comb was worn as a statement ornament during the late Victorian to Edwardian era, often used to adorn elaborate updos and mantilla-inspired hairstyles. The craftsmanship is exceptional, the detail is crisp, and the comb has survived in remarkable condition for its age.
