Hair Clip with Horn Plate by Petz

Since 1862, the knowledge and experience of the manual processing of horn has been passed from generation to generation, today Thomas Petz, grandson of the last Austrian horn comb guild’s master, leads the family business and manufactures on the machines of the grandfather. All the work processes in the treatment of the horn - about 30 different steps - are performed in full in the Viennese operations of the Petz family, from the separation of the horn tip of the basic material through to the final fine polishing of the tips of the comb teeth and spaces between them with powdered pumice stone.

Horn is a natural product which always differs in colouring and graining. So products made of this material are never identical and thus unique in colour and marking. The product should be treated regularly, with our horn balm for example.
