Gloves onlineWith the nippy weather biting at every exposed extremity, you'll be covering up as best you can with hats, scarfs and gloves. The rather grandly named 'Worshipful Company of Glovers' has an online glove museum exhibiting gloves dating as far back as the 14th century when it was decreed gloves could not be sold by candlelight "as folk could not tell whether they were good or bad". As well as outlining the gloves' historical significance, the collection also includes the Coronation gloves worn by Queen Elizabeth II and delicately printed 18th century kid gloves. |
