19th C. Ladies Opera Gloves.
The gloves come in a papier-mâché box with a hand painted beautifully decorated Japanese motif, measuring 7 ½” x 7 ½”. Slight damage to the lip of the box.
The box contains 2 x pairs of Ladies kid opera gloves, labelled “made specially in France for Peter Robinson Ltd, Oxford Street, W”.
The gloves are for a small hand, 1 pair 20” long, the other 21” long, made from hair sheep leather. There is slight damage and age staining to both pairs, but at well over 100 years old , they are in remarkable condition.
