Peigne en écaille de tortue
1936
Imagine carrying a piece of autumn in your hair! Erwin Schwabe's 1936 design sketch transforms a simple comb into a romantic heart, swirling with amber and reddish-brown hues to mimic the look of expensive tortoise shell. A delicate floral cutout sits right in the center, while a tiny, ghostly pencil sketch in the corner reveals the artist's initial brainstorming. It’s a lovely reminder that in the 1930s, even everyday grooming tools were designed with the care of fine jewelry.
