Table Decoration with Hair Flowers Table Decoration with Hair Flowers
Bee, Mary Bryce (b.1870, d.1899)
1895
A floral, Victorian table decoration. It is an example of a then popular craft, consisting of flowers made from human hair. The flowers and foliage are constructed by wrapping the hair around pieces of wire and then shaping it. Typically the hair was boiled first. At least two different colours of hair have been used and some of the flowers also have beaded details. Coloured thread has been used in places to hold the hair to the lengths of metal wire. The arrangement is on a yellow satin base over cardboard with a glass dome covering the arrangement.

This item was made by Mrs R. McDowell (nee Mary Bryce Bee), Weston, North Otago in 1895. At this time she would have been around 25 years. She died aged 29 very soon after the birth of her only child, Horace Bee McDowell.
