Description

A pair of womenswear gloves, in wet sand-coloured leather; mid-forearm length (button length 11), with applied gold-coloured metal thread braid and metal strip at top and on back with heather-coloured, amber-yellow, emerald-green, cyclamen-pink and azure blue pastes in looped design, outseams, three points, French thumb, fourchettes. NOTE: There was a thought that they may be theatrical gloves: however, the similarity of the coloured pastes to those on the net mittens in the collection suggests this earlier date and a fashionable use.
