Wooden glove boxes were popular from the 18th to early 20th centuries, serving as both practical storage and decorative objects. These elegant boxes, often crafted from fine woods and adorned with intricate inlays, were used to store gloves—a necessary fashion accessory for both men and women during this period.
Gloves were a symbol of status and etiquette. During the Victorian era (1837–1901), glove boxes became an essential part of a lady’s dressing table or boudoir.
The glove boxes were typically made from exotic woods (thuya, satinwood, coromandel, or rosewood) and many featured Boulle marquetry, brass inlay, or mother-of-pearl detailing. Some were lined with silk or velvet to protect delicate leather, lace, or kid gloves.
