This sale is for a pretty pale coloured Art Deco hair comb which is made in the classic fan shape. SIZE AND CONDITION: 5 x 5 ins; good vintage condition with no missing stones. This pretty Art Deco hair comb is made in pale champagne coloured moiré effect celluloid and was probably made in the USA. These fancy effects were a specialty of the manufacturers of celluloid hair combs at this period and come in all colours. This one gives the subtle appearance of watered silk. This pretty ornament is made in a variation of the iconic Art Deco sunray design. Is has a classic fan shaped heading in which radiating spoke like lines radiate out from the base of the heading and are combined with a border of scrolled openwork. The scrolls are embellished for further effect with brilliant amber rhinestones. MORE INFORMATION: These Spanish style combs were worn in a characteristic manner, being placed in the side or back of the hairdressing at an acute angle, and in such a way that the tall heading stood up proud. This enabled the often beautiful openwork decoration or the decorative effect which had been applied to the material, to be viewed from all angles, and for the details to be seen effectively outlined against the light. This manner of wearing the decorative comb is shown in the accompanying photographs on the mannequin. Picture 9 comes from a fashion engraving dated 1923 and shows a model wearing a similar ornament. In general, Art Deco designs were geometric and incorporated Cubist and Futurist art which influenced fashion, architecture and interior design. Very jazzy and geometric, the designs celebrated all the excitement of the machine age. The design hare is a variation of the classic spokes or sunray in which openwork lines radiate outwards from the base of the comb. This is a very typical motif in Art Deco combs, and in the art of the period. Some people interpret the spokes as representing the wheel, and thus symbolising the fascination with speed and machinery. Others believe that the rays represent the sun, and indicate the popular fetish for sun bathing and outdoor exercise.
