EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of men's armoured gloves from the late 16th to mid-17th century. Crafted with heavy buff leather, these gloves were not only functional but also exuded an air of sophistication and style. The English School of the 17th century skillfully created this ornate piece, which is now housed in the Fashion Museum Bath. The intricate decoration on these gloves is truly remarkable. Adorned with scallops and interlocking patterns, they are a testament to the craftsmanship of that era. The pinked edges add an extra touch of elegance to this accessory, making it suitable for formal occasions or as part of a gentleman's attire. These gauntlets were not just fashionable; they served a practical purpose as well. Designed to protect the wearer's hands during combat or other hazardous activities, they provided both safety and style in equal measure. As we admire this snapshot from history, let us appreciate how fashion has evolved over time while still drawing inspiration from past trends. These mens' armoured gloves serve as a reminder that even centuries ago, people understood the importance of accessorizing and expressing their personal style through clothing choices. Thanks to Bridgeman Images for preserving this valuable piece of art and allowing us to delve into its historical significance without any commercial use intentions.
