Description

REDUCED FROM 9.90. HUGE Antique Mourning Cameo Hair Comb, Victorian Celluloid Black Pierced Floral Comb w/ Gutta Percha Cameo w/ Flowers & Berries Hair Beads Jewelry 100+ Years Ago, w/ Antique Black Mourning Cameo. 199.90.
Beautiful antique Victorian Edwardian Hair Tall & Wide mantilla or Spanish comb. I added Antique black dark brown mourning Gutta Percha cameo.
I have reduced the price as due to mistreatment, both outside tines have been removed.
In Spain, a peineta is a large decorative comb usually worn high on head under a mantilla, or lace head covering, a veil worn over the head and shoulders. The mantilla is also a common element of some Valencian and Andalusian flamenco costumes.
This comb is 7" Tall & 5 " wide!
The antique black Gutta Percha is also more than 100 years old. Comb & cameo are in good condition, (or zoom pictures). The Cameo measures 1 3/4" x 1 1/2" x 1/2". The cameo of this quality is usually priced more than I am asking for Comb with Cameo!
Lots of possibilities for wearing, including a bun or hair piece. The Spanish Dancers wore such a comb high above an elaborate hair do and they were very popular in 1875.
This is a lovely antique display on wall. Just put 2 nails in wall for top of 2 outside tines, or plate hanger
