Vintage Ornate Hair Comb - Historical Design & Craftsmanship #62534 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white illustration depicts a highly ornamental hair comb from the late 19th century, likely crafted in silver or gold with filigree detailing. The comb features seven tapered teeth, a central diamond-patterned panel flanked by vertical bands of circular beads, and dramatic coiled spring elements on both sides that mimic floral or serpentine motifs; the top arch is adorned with alternating ring-and-bead terminals. Such combs were worn as status symbols in Victorian and Edwardian eras, often paired with elaborate updos and formal attire.
