The Glove Collection is a collection of approximately 2,300 historic and contemporary gloves. [1] [2] It is associated with the Worshipful Company of Glovers and normally some of the gloves are on display in the Fashion Museum, Bath. [1] [3] The collection took on its present form in 2003 when the Glovers Livery Company donated their collection of approximately 250 gloves to The Glove Collection Trust, which manages the collection. [1] [4]
The Worshipful Company of Glovers donated their collection of historic gloves, including a notable set owned by Robert Spence (1871–1964), to the Glove Collection Trust in 2003, forming the Glove Collection. [1] [5] The donated gloves included a duplicate of the coronation gloves of Queen Victoria and subsequent monarchs. [5]
Since the donation, the Glove Collection has grown substantially and now has over 2,000 British and European gloves. [1] [2] [5]
Since 1985, the gloves have been on long-term loan to the Fashion Museum, Bath, and since 2019, all of the gloves have been stored in the Assembly Rooms. [2] [3] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
