Antique LARGE Cameo Celluloid Mantilla Victorian Hair Comb Etched Brass Setting

Description

Antique LARGE Celluloid Peineta Mantilla Victorian Hair Comb Carved 75 Years Ago + w/ Antique Shell Cameo Etched Brass Setting OOAK 176.90. Beautiful antique Victorian Edwardian Hair Tall & Wide mantilla or Spanish comb. I added a antique 1 1/4 " x 1" hand carved shell cameo in a etched brass bronze setting.
This beautiful comb is hand carved deep yellow, orang , brown celluloid. Please see elaborate design closely each section is a little different. In Spain, a peineta is a large decorative comb usually worn under a mantilla, or lace head covering, a veil worn over the head and shoulders. The mantilla is also a common element of some Valencian and Andalusian flamenco costumes.
This comb is 6 1/4" tall & 3 1/2" wide.
Lots of possibilities for wearing, including a bun or hair piece. The Spanish Dancers worn such a comb high above an elaborate hair do. They were very popular in 1875.
