Description
A graceful pair of antique Edwardian ladies’ gloves, beautifully preserved and appearing unused, crafted of fine kidskin leather with delicate embroidered cuffs and an early snap closure—an elegant survival from the opening years of the 20th century.
Crafted during the Edwardian era, circa **1900–1915**, this elegant pair of ladies’ gloves is made from fine **kidskin leather with a matching kidskin lining**, reflecting the high standards of pre–World War I glove manufacture.
Delicate embroidery adorns both the cuffs and the front of the gloves, a refined decorative touch favored during the Edwardian period. An early **metal snap closure** secures the wrist, a feature becoming fashionable in the years just before the First World War.
The gloves measure approximately **9 inches in length** and **2⅜ inches across the palm**, consistent with period proportions. They remain in **excellent antique condition** and appear unused, showing only gentle, age-appropriate toning to the leather.
A beautiful and increasingly scarce survival, well suited to an antique fashion collection, period display, or museum reference.
**Collector’s Note**
Fine Edwardian gloves such as these were often purchased to complement walking costumes, afternoon attire, or formal visiting dress. Their survival in such clean condition is increasingly uncommon, making this pair especially appealing to collectors of early 20th-century accessories.
