1650s 1651 1877 Accessories Embroidered Gloves Manor Worcester Worn
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of ornate gloves claimed to have been worn by King Charles II at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The gloves, embroidered with intricate designs fit for royalty, were left behind by the king as he fled to safety at the manor of Whiteladies, located 25 miles from Worcester.
The image transports us back to a time when every accessory worn by a monarch held great significance and symbolism. These gloves are not just any ordinary pair - they represent power, authority, and perhaps even fear as Charles II made his escape from battle.
The attention to detail in the embroidery is truly remarkable, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating such regal accessories. It's almost as if we can feel the weight of history in our hands as we gaze upon this photograph.
As we admire these gloves worn by one of England's most famous kings, we are reminded of the turbulent times during which they were used. They serve as a tangible link to our past and offer us a glimpse into the world of English royalty during the 17th century. Truly a treasure worth preserving for generations to come.
