40s Embroidered Leather Gloves

Vintage 1940s soft black sueded leather gloves with Point de Beauvais delicate floral embroidery. 

Maker: name is unreadable but they were hand made in Grenoble France

Size marked: 6 1/4 (modern xsmall - small)

Width across palm (unstretched): 3"
Length: 12 1/2"

Excellent pre-owned condition - no rips or tears, strong leather, light normal wear to the inner tips of the fingers. 

How to determine glove size:

Run a soft tape measure around the widest part of your hand (often right below or around the knuckles), keeping it as straight and taut as possible. This number will correspond to your vintage glove size, i.e. if your hand measures 7 1/2" around you will likely wear a vintage size 7 1/2 glove. Most gloves (even leather ones) stretch to fit so the unstretched width measurements given above are for comparing (laid flat) with other gloves you own.
