Antique Celluloid Hair Comb Ormolu Red Green Blue Glass Jewels

Antique 1920s Hair Comb Red Green Jeweled Ormolu Celluloid Apollo Vintage Vanity Art Deco Boudoir.

The hair comb is made up of cast white metal garnished with a gilded finish (looks to be redone at some point). It is fitted with amber celluloid comb and features red, green and blue glass jewels. The handle displays scrolling motifs. Measures: 8 " long x 1 ¼" wide. I am pretty sure this is from Apollo, but I have never found a comb marked with the name.

This is an item from my personal collection of jeweled filigree vanity accessories dating to the 1920s period. All photos are my own.

Apollo Studios was mentioned in advertisements to be manufacturers of hollow ware, boudoir accessories, and gift items in silver plate, gold plate and other metals. Apollo Studios products were sold in the prestigious Ovington's store, The Gift Shop of Fifth Avenue. Ovington sold china, crystal, fine art, silver and gift items aimed at the bridal market.
