Description

A hair ornament known as a ‘Guazze’ — Lombardy, Italy, 19th century. Also known as a ‘sperada’ or ‘raggio’, the ‘guazza’ is a traditional hair ornament emblematic of 19th-century Lombardy, particularly in the Brianza and Lake Como regions. This ornament consists of a long main pin running across the bun, with bulbous ends — known as a ‘spontone’ or ‘guglia’ — which passes through the bun, flanked by a semicircle of 15 small pins with cut-out heads (‘spettonini’) arranged in a fan shape. Made from chiselled silver-plated metal. 31 x 20 cm (excluding the base). Weight: 260 g (including the base).
