RARE ANTIQUE Ming
Dynasty AESTHETIC
STERLING SPIDER hair
ornaments or Place CARD
HOLDERS


This is for one of two
sets of antique sterling
spun spider web large
place card holders or
Chinese hair ornaments
from the 17th Century
(Ming period or later)
that I have and I can
guarantee they are very
rare indeed.

Completely hand
wrought with SIX spiders
and webs that are very
realistic too!. These
measure 2 1/2" across and
each is a bit individual
from each other.

In the late 1800's,
Darwin's controversial
theories on evolution, as
well as new botanical
discoveries taking place,
created popular interest
in the natural world.
Some are typical jewelry
items, for example - gem
set butterflies, gold
houseflies, enameled
beetles, silver monkeys,
etc. But there are also
more unusual forms of
ornaments.


These can be used to
hold the place cards for
dinner tables and to hold
a persons calling card (
because the part that fits
in the hair acts a little
stand) or as hair
ornaments. These are
really rare so don't miss
out at the last minute.
