An extraordinary piece of 19th-century history, this authenticated specimen of Queen Victoria’s hair offers collectors the rare opportunity to own a physical connection to one of Britain’s most influential monarchs. Queen Victoria’s reign shaped global politics, culture, and identity for more than six decades, and objects directly associated with her continue to command reverence and scholarly interest. This preserved lock of hair stands as both a personal relic and a historical artifact, an intimate reminder of the monarch who defined an era.
Collecting hair, known as "hair work," was a common Victorian practice for mementos, especially after a person's death. Over time, different locks have been passed down through families, sold at auction, or donated to institutions. Whether displayed alongside royal memorabilia or held as a unique legacy artifact, this piece offers a tangible link to the life and legacy of Queen Victoria.
