Item Description
Vintage Celluloid Hair Receiver
The hair receiver was a common
fixture on the dressing tables of women from Victorian times to the
early decades of the 20th century. Its purpose was to save hair culled
from the hairbrush and comb, which were used vigorously on a daily
basis. The hair could then be stuffed into pincushions or pillows. Since
hair was not washed as often as it is today, oils were frequently used
to add scent and shine to hair. The residual oil made the hair an ideal
stuffing for pincushions because it lubricated the pins, making it
easier for them to pierce material. Small pillows could be stuffed with
hair, which was less prickly than pinfeathers
Measures 2 1/4 inches high including lid x 3 3/4 inches across at the widest point which is the base
Terrific condition
Some small vintage yellowing spots on the side and lid from the original glaze aging
