A beautiful late Victorian hair pin carved from mother of pearl. CONDITION: good vintage condition with acceptable wear. SIZE: 5½ ins h x 2 ins w (14 x 5 cm) decorative part 2 ins h (5 cm). Here is a very beautiful and dainty two pronged comb or hair pick which is made from carved mother of pearl. The ornament has two tines which are in good condition, not chipped or broken.

The circular heading of the comb takes the form of a flower head. The base plate is in one with the tines and has been carved and fretted into a design suggestive of petals. Mounted upon this are two further elements, forming concentric circles and secured in the centre with a metal screw.
