Diamond, Seed Pearl and Tortoiseshell Hair Comb, 19th Century | 鑽石 配 珍珠 及 玳瑁 髮飾, 19世紀

The hair comb was worn throughout the 19th century, at times above the hairline similar to a bandeau, or to decorate the chignon. Women during the time may have worn gem set pins with matching hair combs as decorations. The delicate seed pearl clusters on this example is beautiful in its detail.

在十九世紀，時人會以髮梳作為頭飾。人們會偶爾將髮梳戴在髮際線上方、與束髮帶相近的位置，或以髮梳點綴髮髻。彼時，女士會配戴與髮梳相襯的寶石髮夾作為裝飾。本拍品上的小顆珍珠細節精美，製作精巧。
