Getting started with the collection:
Pair of gloves
anonymous, c. 1800 - c. 1825
Etiquette dictated that women – also those of more modest means – wear gloves to cover their bare arms. When short puffed sleeves became fashionable in the early 19th century, gloves became longer. During the summer, cotton was in demand, and in the winter leather.
