Most of you will know that we are the proud possessors of a wonderful collection of gloves, both historical and current. If you are unsure do look at our brilliant web page on www.glovecollectioncatalogue,org. We are always on the lookout for appropriate gloves to add to our collection and at a recent Auction held by Kerry Taylor, we were fortunate to buy a rare pair of knitted cotton men’s gloves, English, late 17th – early 18th century, with overall diaper patterns, short gauntlets at the wrist, please see the photograph. Whilst we have knitted gloves already they are mainly ladies and certainly not of this period, so we were delighted to be able to bid, win and add them to our magnificent collection.
