LES THÈMES
Beautiful Carved Antique Tortoiseshell Hair Barrette
Procured from a collector’s estate sale, this carefully curated selection of antique tortoiseshell hair accessories serves as the foundation of Les Thèmes' Ornamental Keeping collection. Each hand-carved hairpin, comb, or barrette is entirely unique, showcasing the delicate yet precious nature of this rare material, crafted over a century ago. Durable yet lightweight, genuine tortoiseshell is no longer in production and should only be sourced in its antique form, preserving its history and artistry. The styles in this collection range from highly ornate pieces with intricate carvings to simpler, more streamlined designs that are as practical as they are beautiful. A relic from a bygone era, each piece deserves to be cherished—whether adorning an elegant updo or adding a touch of whimsy to a sleek bun.
