Cream Cotton Gloves with Embroidered Floral Cuffs

Roaring Twenties / Art Deco · 1920s · Belgian

A pair of cream-colored knitted cotton gloves featuring machine-embroidered floral decoration at the wrists. The gloves extend to mid-forearm length, typical of 1920s formal wear. The embroidered cuffs display stylized roses in pink and green thread, worked in a dense pattern that creates a decorative band approximately two inches wide. The knitted construction allows for a close fit to the hand and fingers, while the cotton material provides breathability suitable for daytime wear. The floral motifs reflect the continued popularity of naturalistic decoration in the 1920s, even as Art Deco geometric patterns were gaining prominence. The gloves show signs of age and wear, with some discoloration visible on the cream cotton base.
