Ancient comb "Flamenco", Europe

Ancient comb "Flamenco", Europe.

Antique hair comb of the last century. With an emphasis on the comb of the Spanish - parity. Spanish beauties fixed the mantle on the head with the peynet combs, pinning this part of their costume to the hairstyle. In the Victorian era, after the triumph of the Opera "Carmen" in 1870, the combs of this type migrated to other countries, having decreased in size and lost the main function-fixing the Mantilla, but becoming a popular hair ornament. Favorite materials for combs of the time have served tortoiseshell armor and ivory. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the fashion for paint came to "no", and was revived in the 20s, with the advent of new synthetic materials that mimic natural.
This comb is made of celluloid "under the tortoise shell", decorated with hand-carved. For his age - in good preservation.
