This antique Victorian French Cut Steel Comb adds sophistication and sparkle to an elegant head. The comb is made of blond horn, while the feather embellishment is made of highly polished faceted steel studs riveted to a steel backing. Circa 1870.
This vintage (20th Century) Christian Lacroix obi belt is embellished with ornate sequins, embroideries and tassels. Made in France. We can see this gift tied beautifully around a silk tunic or cinching some lush velvet pants.
