Info Needed on Large Victorian Mourning Hair Wreath!

[karen.777]

I recently acquired a large Victorian Mourning Hair Wreath that is showcased in a small wooden side table. It is said to have come from a museum, not sure where.

The hair is very intricately detailed and is 14" x 19" in size, about 3.5" thick.

If anyone knows more about this/ has any info on it, it would be greatly appreciated!!

*It will be listed soon

Kind Regards,

Karen

What do you think OP's question is, exactly?  Tell us, and perhaps someone will respond to OP.

OP has identified the item, so needs no help there.  These wreathes are well-studied and well-documented, the subject of monographs, books, websites, et cetera, as even a cursory Google search shows. 

As for specific information, I doubt if anyone in the world can tell OP specifically whose hair this is or who made the wreath from it since, as you say, it is by its nature unique.

How unique!

The Grammar Police say

Unique does not take any comparatives, including 'how'.

The word you are looking for is  'unusual'.

If anyone of the few remaining knowlegable posters has any infornation they will no doubt add it without the thread being bumped.

If bumping random threads is a new policy, it's not a very useful one.
