L Le Grande Alexandrine

A fabulous pair of fine doeskin/ kidskin opera gloves in Olive green. There are two makers names printed inside the gloves. Lionel le Grande and Alexandrine both were glove makers based in Paris, France. Alexandrine in glove making comes from the Danish Queen Alexandrine who was the wife of King Christian X, whom owned the royal deer hard during the 1930's. The Paris company of that name has examples of its gloves in museums and in 1938 Alexandrine gloves were gifted to Princess Elizabeth an Margaret by the children of France during the princesses state visit to France. https://www.rct.uk/collection/93248/gloves The White House At 51 Bond Street was opened in 1906 by Jean Delliere.
