Pair Baroque Faux Pearl Hinged Side Combs

Ref: VT-0902-010

This beautiful pair of large faux pearl side combs is made in the elaborate neo-baroque style which came into fashion from the early 1950s and probably dates from the mid to late 1950s. It features both spherical and prong set marquise shaped faux pearl cabochons arranged in a star or flower and leaf spray shape. There is one large spherical faux pearl set in the centre of each within a metal flower shape.

The heading of each comb is set on a rotating hinge which attaches it to the comb mount. One comb mount is clear and the other pale pink. This means that the ornament is adaptable to various positions within the hair and grips firmly. These pretty ornaments were popular for use in the extremely elaborate updos of the late 1950s and 1960s.
