A VICTORIAN HALF-PEARL GLOVE HOOK The gold hook with a collar of half-pearls, the end with a small suspension ring allowing it to hang from a chain. Stamped 15 Size/dimensions: 5.50cm long Gross weight: 3.91g All pearls are present and secure. The gold shows signs of wear consistent with age, and the piece is offered in very good condition. Small hooks such as this were made to draw each button through its loop. Larger versions were used for boots and shoes. Many women carried a glove hook with them, hung from a chatelaine, a chain or a key ring, and fine examples in gold, silver, mother-of-pearl and hardstone became fashionable accessories in their own right.
