Diadem 1790 - 1802

"Diadem" is a late 18th-century comb crafted from silver and gold, with a row of delicately beaded, pointed "leaves" on a curved band. The comb is a striking example of decorative artistry from the period and would have been worn by women of the time to adorn their hair. Located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Diadem" showcases the intricate craftsmanship and elegance characteristic of jewelry from the late 1700s and early 1800s.
