Art Nouveau Hair Comb — Antique Ivorine
LES THÈMES
Decorative & Dramatic Antique Art Nouveau Ivorine Hair Comb
This antique ivorine hair comb is a dramatic yet striking piece, sourced from the same collector’s estate sale as the tortoiseshell hair accessories in the Les Thèmes 'Ornamental Keeping' collection. Crafted from celluloid to mimic the soft, warm tones of natural ivory, the comb features an arched silhouette with an intricately carved openwork design, forming an elegant oval motif framed by interwoven detailing.
Ivorine, a sought-after vintage material, was widely used in the 19th and early 20th centuries as an ethical alternative to ivory, offering the same refined aesthetic with a lightweight and durable quality—a true keepsake for lovers of the decorative and ornate.
