We’ve examined several celluloid combs here at Stalking the Belle Époque. One of my favorites in my collection is this elegant comb featuring citrine-colored rhinestones. This comb marks a transition of styles. Earlier Victorian combs were lower and wider. This comb shows the Edwardian trend toward narrower, longer combs which would sit higher on a lady’s head. A comb such as this one would have almost exclusively been worn in the evening. Such a hair ornament would have been the finishing touch to a lady’s ensemble, adding a bit of sparkle to an upswept coiffure.
