| - A pair of silk velvet mittens lined with swilk plush, Great Britain, ca. 1600 (en)
- Pair of black silk velvet mittens with tabbed cuffs applied with black silk braid across the palm. The cuffs are edged with black silk fringe and lined with black silk plush. The gauntlets interlined with felted woollen cloth. The seams, palm-slits and thumbs bound with a narrow black silk braid (mainly missing). The gauntlets are slit into six square-ended tabs and are decorated round the wrists and along the tabs with applied bands of 1.25 inch black patterned braid. The edges are decorated with a narrow fringed braid. (en)
- Elaborately decorated mittens of rich materials were worn in the early 17th century, as well as gloves. Although black gloves were worn by those participating in funeral processions, records indicate that mourning gloves were usually plain black leather. The silk velvet of these mittens with applied braid and silk fringe are probably too sumptuous for mourning. They may have been made to match an ensemble in black velvet.
The palms of each mitten have a horizontal opening to free the fingers when necessary. (en)
