The tabbed shape with embroidery, silver-gilt bobbin lace trimming and ruched ribbon are characteristic of gloves during the period 1610 to 1630.  The silver-gilt threads are couched onto the satin – that is, laid on the surface and secured with stitches in very fine silk.  The coloured silk threads are worked through the satin ground.  \r\n\r\nA range of popular flowers such as roses, borage, carnation and pansies, with pomegranates are typical motifs in early 17th-century embroidery in Britain.","physicalDescription":"A pair of tabbed kidskin glove tops [gauntlets], with applied white satin couched with silver-gilt thread and spangles and embroidered with coloured silks in a floral pattern.  They are lined with coral-pink silk and edged with silver-gilt bobbin lace.  The top edge is trimmed with ruched coral-pink silk ribbon edged with silver-gilt bobbin lace and spangles.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"kidskin","id":"AAT255987"},{"text":"silk satin","id":"x33509"},{"text":"silk taffeta","id":"x34754"},{"text":"silver-gilt thread","id":"x30492"},{"text":"silk thread","id":"x30127"},{"text":"bobbin lace","id":"AAT132869"},{"text":"spangles","id":"x38420"}],"techniques":[{"text":"hand sewing","id":"AAT257459"},{"text":"hand embroidery","id":"x30339"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Kidskin, silk, silver-gilt thread, silk thread, hand sewn, hand embroidered, bobbin lace","categories":[{"text":"Accessories","id":"THES48998"},{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2020MN5789","2011EW5119","2017KJ7246"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"017","id":"THES310249"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"017","id":"THES310249"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Glove, part","id":""}],[{"text":"Glove, part","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1610-1630","earliest":"1610-01-01","latest":"1630-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"13.0","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"320-1876","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"15.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"320-1876","note":""},{"dimension":"Length","value":"13.0","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"320:A-1876","note":""},{"dimension":"","value":"","unit":"","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"15.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"320:A-1876","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"A pair of glove gauntlets embroidered satin, 1610-1630, British, silver gilt & coloured silks","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"John Lea Nevinson, Catalogue of English Domestic Embroidery of the Sixteenth & Seventeenth Centuries, Victoria and Albert Museum, Department of Textiles, London: HMSO, 1938, p.92"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"pomegranates","id":"x35736"},{"text":"pansies","id":"x38063"},{"text":"borage","id":"x30495"},{"text":"roses","id":"x31675"},{"text":"carnation","id":"x30499"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["320-1876","320A-1876"],"accessionNumberNum":"320","accessionNumberPrefix":"","accessionYear":1876,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE","Glove, part [1]","Glove, part [2]"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-08-19","recordCreationDate":"2008-07-17","availableToBook":true}}
