FAQs

An antique sterling silver hair slide or hair fork is a decorative hair accessory crafted around the late nineteenth to early twentieth century, designed to secure updos or chignons while displaying ornamental metalwork.

These accessories were typically pressed, cast, or hand-pierced from sterling silver alloys, featuring solid tines or prongs attached to an ornate decorative crest designed to sit visibly against the hair.

Look for makers marks or purity stamps such as Sterling or 925, alongside characteristic Art Nouveau or Edwardian design motifs including scrolling foliate patterns, openwork filigree, and period manufacturing marks.

An antique hair slide can be worn as a statement bridal accessory, styled within a modern updo for formal evening wear, or displayed as collectible decorative silver jewellery in a glass vitrine.

Clean gently using a soft silver polishing cloth to remove oxidisation without wearing down delicate openwork, avoiding harsh chemical dips or abrasive cleaners that could damage fine details.
