FAQs

During the Victorian era, gloves were an essential component of formal attire. Specially designed elongated rectangular boxes were produced to store, flatten, and preserve leather and fabric gloves on dressing tables.

These boxes were typically constructed from cabinet woods such as rosewood, walnut, or mahogany. They often featured decorative mother-of-pearl, bone, or brass escutcheons and cartouches, alongside silk or velvet internal linings.

Authentic pieces generally display natural wood grain variations, minor surface patina, hand-cut dovetail or mitred joints, and period-correct brass locks. Mother-of-pearl inlays were typically set flush into the wood by hand.

While originally designed for gloves, these rectangular boxes function well on a sideboard, bedside table, or desk. They serve as functional storage for keys, jewellery, or stationery, while adding an historical accent to the space.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or fading. Dust the exterior with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a neutral beeswax polish sparingly to the timber, avoiding harsh chemicals on the mother-of-pearl inlays.
