Superb condition, these will be a pair you'll enjoy wearing or in display. Fine late 1700s hair ornament pair, pick combs to decorate an upswept chignon - wedding, formal event, or just an evening entertaining at home. The gilt ormolu and paste gems remain in beautiful brilliance, and there are no losses or damage to the long slender tortoise shell combs. Full measurements noted on the photos.

Very good to excellent condition for age and type, I'm pressed to find any flaws to point out, and no loss to the 2mm to 5mm gems which mimic diamonds. They are French 'paste' gems, not diamonds, however. Lots of photos for your review. The red box is not included, as noted on photos. 

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. Please see our small print for more details.
