Faux Tortoiseshell Hair Comb with Geometric Design
Ref: DE-0109-007
In general, Art Deco designs 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 and were definitely more angular, fantastical and bold than the previous flowing designs of the Art Nouveau period.
The design of this comb incorporates a number of Deco favourites such as the radiating sunray or spokes which appear at the base of the heading. This is combined with the kinds of intricate latticework which appear on oriental screens for a very eye-catching and unusual effect.
Picture 9 is taken from a contemporary glamour postcard and shows a model wearing a similar oversized hair comb at an acute asymmetric angle.
Size: 6½ x 6¾ ins; (approx 16.5 x 17 cms)
