Long gloves, elbow length. These would date from the 1950s–60s, and would fit a quite small hand. The fabric is some sort of nylon mix, and they have a wrist–slit with button holes. The buttons have been removed, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to find 6 buttons to replace them. Very good condition otherwise.

Large Art Deco Gentlemans Silk Scarf


Item number: 7855
Date: 1920s–1930s
Price: NZ$22.00

Not easy to photograph this one – it is self patterned in a deco design of squares, and has broad self–patterned edge banding and two fringed edges. Silk, cream coloured – exactly the type of thing worn in the evening by gentlemen of the period. Measures 81 cm by 81 cm, so quite large. Age has caused a few problems – it has some faint yellowing stains in one area, and a few small holes (photo shows them magnified). Once folded into a triangle or strip, these would not show.
