EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of knitted silk gloves, believed to have once belonged to the esteemed Archbishop William Warham. Dating back to the late 15th or early 16th century, these exquisite gloves are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail of the English School. The gloves feature intricate embroidery and delicate gold thread, creating an ornate design that reflects the opulence of ecclesiastical attire during this period. The vibrant crimson color adds a touch of regality, while the sunburst motif evokes religious symbolism. Archbishop William Warham, who served as Archbishop of Canterbury in the early 16th century, was known for his influential role in shaping religious affairs during a pivotal time in history. These gloves offer us a glimpse into his personal style and taste. With their gothic-inspired cuffs and Renaissance flair, these gloves represent both medieval traditions and emerging fashion trends of the time. They serve as tangible evidence of how clothing played an integral part in expressing one's status and identity within society. Preserved by New College at Oxford University, this remarkable artifact serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. Through its sheer beauty and historical significance, it invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its connection to an illustrious figure from centuries past.
