Silvercraft: Jeweled Filigree Hair Receiver

This antique Silvercraft hair receiver, likely dating to the 1920s, is a fine example of the brand’s luxurious and decorative approach to vanity accessories. Measuring approximately 5 inches in diameter and 2 inches high, the piece is adorned with multicolored glass jewels set into intricate gilt-metal filigree accents. These jewels, in vibrant hues, add a touch of elegance and sparkle to the piece, while the filigree showcases Silvercraft’s detailed craftsmanship.

A hair receiver is a small, decorative container historically used to collect hair that was removed from brushes or combs. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, women often saved their hair for practical purposes. The gathered hair could be used to create "hair rats"—soft pads used to add volume to hairstyles—or for sentimental crafts such as jewelry, wreaths, or embroidery. Hair receivers were common on dressing tables, serving as both a functional tool and a decorative accessory.

This Silvercraft hair receiver, with its elegant design and luxurious details, exemplifies the blending of practicality and aesthetic appeal in early 20th-century vanity items. Its jeweled and filigree exterior reflects the glamour of the era, making it a charming and collectible piece today.
