Long stored and in magnificent condition, I am now offering my finest ornamental Napoléon III era (Victorian era) tiara, combs, peigne, mantilla ornamental hair accessories. Each one offered separately, this is #3, and is one of my all-time favorites among my remaining collection. Large, 5" high and 5" wide across an intricate floral carving of irregular form, almost a paisley form, really. The artistry and talent is unmatched and rare. In incredible condition for age and type, as well.
Very good to excellent condition for age and type, I find no flaws on this one at all. The steamed curve remains perfect, and there are no flaws to the thrilling design carved on this asymmetrical beauty. Truly one of my finest, long cherished.
IMPORTANT NOTE regarding antique tortoise shell or ivory: We are great supporters of protection for endangered species in our modern world. We never buy or sell anything 100 years or newer; we donate to anti-poaching organizations; we don't hunt; we conserve in ways that impact global warming (we're totally solar at home), knowing those measures also protect the animals in the wild today. We also recognize the vast cultural history we preserve with our care and reverence for these antique objects, and agree with CITES that objects over 100 years of age have nothing whatsoever to do with species depletion in our current world.
Our offering exceeds the age limitation of "more than 100 years of age", and is well within the exemption for CITES regulation. If imported, met the CITES regulation. This item will be handled and shipped from our Utah business, and is not available for shipment internationally, nor within the USA to California, NY, Nevada, Hawaii, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington if it contains ivory, sorry.
