19th c. Leather Glove Box with Brass Mounts

A refined antique leather glove box, likely dating to the late 19th century, crafted with a dark leather exterior and fitted with decorative brass mounts and a hinged lid. The elongated form and interior proportions reflect its original purpose: storing ladies’ gloves or other personal accessories, an essential companion for travel or dressing tables of the period.

The interior is lined in warm fabric, offering a rich contrast to the patinated leather exterior. Brass hardware—including the central decorative plaque and latch—adds both function and quiet ornament, while surface wear throughout speaks to long use and age. A beautifully preserved example of personal storage from a time when even utilitarian objects were thoughtfully designed.

Ideal for display on a bookshelf, dressing table, or console, where its proportions and materials add texture and historical character.
