<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 346726, member: 2844&quot;]This style is a total mystery to me, and I don&#039;t even know if the silver and the comb started out life together.</p><p>The seller thought it was Indonesian, but it is not an Indonesian style I know. Indonesians make gorgeous decorative combs, but not like this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>The celluloid comb is Western in style, and looks hand pierced. It doesn&#039;t look older than 1960s to me, but some Edwardian and older decorative combs look pristine, so I can&#039;t tell for sure.</p><p>The silver plaque could be older than this comb, but was obviously made for a comb. It is handmade, with a hammered surface. This is the original size, nothing has been cut off, so it was not part of a silver comb.</p><p>It is stuck on the comb with a glue gun, but that could be a &#039;repair&#039; by a previous owner.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie19" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I have already removed several blobs of glue.</p><p>Total height 13 cm/5.11&quot;, width 10.5 cm/4.13&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]117081[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]117082[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]117083[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]117084[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It reminds me a bit of the style of the Dutch-Indonesian Art Nouveau artist Jan Toorop:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]117085[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than that I have no idea, maybe someone else has?</p><p>Thank you for looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
