Description
A fantastic drawer treasure from so long ago. A hard to find pair of beautiful antique, c. Victorian to 1910's, mesh lace fingerless mitts.  Fancy evening wear back in the days they were made, great for bridal wedding / opera Mitt gloves.  6 edgings of narrow ruffles.  I found 1 other pair online advertised as silk, with a price of 0.00, and dated as Victorian.  I feel like these may be later than Victorian (or not), although mitt gloves were popular in different designs at various periods in the 19C.  They may be silk, similar to antique silk stockings, but actually could also be an early synthetic fabric, I'm just not sure.  They feel soft and silky.  They have some stretch but not abundant.  FIT IS FOR A SLIM hand and arm ! A size SMALL.  Not returnable due to size, please use measurements below, and remember stretch is limited in these.   An extravagant 17-1/4" long top to bottom ! .   A rich ecru or beige color.  I have shown them against a white cloth for comparison.  Would make gorgeous wedding, bridal gloves.  Also perfect for any party mood or special occasions, christenings, confirmations, Modern Goth and Steampunk treasure.
These beautiful long elbow length opera style fingerless mitt gloves have a thumb opening, a 4 finger opening and are sheer, unlined.
I don't believe they have ever been worn, if so for a very short time.  They have a light perfume scent from the storage drawer.
Check out the Metropolitan Museum's mitt collection online to see fabulous mitts.
In beautiful condition, no holes or tears, again these appear to be unused.  Stored away drawer treasure.
Teeny little red pinpoint mark on 1 glove-see pic-likely from a pen recently (at estate sale I imagine).  I have not hand washed these, it may come out. I leave hand cleaning to the new owner when desired.
Measures approx. 17-1/4" long top to bottom.  5" bottom opening edge, wrist approx. 5-1/2",  top opening approx.  9".
So hard to find these, let alone in such beautiful condition.
