ID: Queen Alexandra's brooch and comb Posted by Knightship on October 1, 2019, 6:03 pm Is anything known about the brooch Alexandra wore in this photo? It reminds me of the centre element of Princess Victoria's floral tiara (mounted in a slightly different angle), but I’m just thinking out loud. Is anything known about Alexandra’s small crown comb?

Queen Alexandra's comb Posted by mauriz on October 1, 2019, 7:39 pm, in reply to "ID: Queen Alexandra's brooch and comb" I think Queen Alexandra's comb is in fact a brooch and now in the Norwegian collection. Queen Sonja has worn it for Johan Martin Ferner's funeral on February 2, 2015.

Could it be the same comb Princess Maud wore as a bridesmaid to her brother's wedding in 1893? Previous Message I think Queen Alexandra's comb is in fact a brooch and now in the Norwegian collection.

I've never noticed it in Queen Alexandra's hair before ! Many thanks ! For the corsage brooch, I too think it's her pearl and diamond wedding brooch. J-F
