[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9815458, member: 2844"]Lovely piece.:) Very touching, the sisters united in a hairwork after their death. The hair was probably collected over time and given to a hairworker who made it into a mourning scene. While the maker was not a great artist, he or she was clearly an experienced hairworker. It may have been made by a local hairdresser. My great-grandfather was one of the last hairwork artists in the Netherlands, possiby the last. He was also a hairdresser and purveyor to the royal court (and a bit of a dandy;)).[/QUOTE]
