Victorian Glove Stretcher – c. 1880s

🧤 Victorian Glove Stretcher – c. 1880s

A beautifully hand-carved 19th-century glove stretcher made from natural organic material (verified antique origin, pre-1947).

It was once part of a lady’s dressing-table set, used to gently open the fingers of fine leather gloves before wear.

This elegant tool features a working spring hinge and a smooth aged patina consistent with over a century of careful handling.
