The Victorian era was a period of ornate and elaborate costume, voluminous hairstyles, and large important hair accessories. Comb-making was a cottage industry, with much the work of staining and polishing the combs done by the wives and families of the craftsmen. By the middle of the 19th century hair combs were being mass produced in large factories. It was during this decade that celluloid first made its appearance and by the end of the century it was replacing natural materials like tortoiseshell, ivory and horn.
