EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, titled "British Art Nouveau Hair Combs" from Charles Holmes' "Modern Design in Jewellery and Fans," published by The Studio in 1902, showcases an exquisite collection of hair combs designed by B.J. Barrie, David Veazey, and Kate Allen. The intricate and elegant designs of these combs exemplify the Art Nouveau movement, which was characterized by its organic forms, sinuous lines, and natural motifs. The combs are crafted from various materials, including silver, mother of pearl, enamel, ivory, and other precious metals and stones. The intricate details of each comb are enhanced by the vibrant colors depicted in this plate, which bring out the rich textures and patterns of the natural materials used. B.J. Barrie, David Veazey, and Kate Allen were prominent designers of the Art Nouveveau period in Britain. Their innovative designs were influenced by the natural world, as well as by the works of European artists such as Alphonse Mucha and Antoni Gaudi. Their hair combs were not only functional but also works of art, designed to adorn the hair of women of the time and reflect their refined taste and appreciation for beauty. This color plate, preserved in the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Art Nouveau design and the exquisite craftsmanship of B.J. Barrie, David Veazey, and Kate Allen. Their hair combs continue to captivate collectors and designers alike, inspiring new generations with their timeless beauty and artistry.
