Victorian hair comb hair pin set Moorish style faux pearl hair accessories

A fine early Victorian comb and hair pin set in the Moorish or Algerian style. CONDITION: good vintage condition with expected wear. SIZE: comb 4 x 5 ins (10 x 13 cm); hairpins 3 ins h (7.5 cm). APPROXIMATE DATE: 1840s 1860s. This attractive type of hair accessory was specifically designed to be worn at the rear of the hairdressing, within or covering the chignon. It is accompanied by two hairpins also decorated with faux pearls to make a matching set. First we have a polished brass hair comb with five graduated tines and a deeply curved heading. A line of faux pearls follows the arc of the heading. Pendant from the extremities of the heading are a series of chains of gilded metal, each having a large oval of faux pearl at the end. In wear the chains hang down over the back hair and shake and tremble when the wearer moves. The matched pair of hair pins each has a globular top with a large faux pearl. The effect of similar ornaments in wear can be seen on the collage illustration. This is a compilation of Algerian style combs drawn from contemporary engravings and photographic portraits of the early to mid Victorian period. This comb is of a type generally called a peigne dAlger or Algerian comb. In the early 1840s the French-Algerian wars led to an interest in Moorish art, and this is strongly reflected in the design of comb headings and hairpins until about 1875. The Crimean War further helped to popularize Turkish and Oriental designs in. During the 1860s and 1970s. This Moorish influence was manifested in the use of pseudo-oriental and Islamic motifs and the use of dangling and curiously shaped pendants, looped chains beads and tassels on combs and hairpins.
