Costume at Waddesdon

A selection of 17th-century lace acquired by Baroness Edmond de Rothschild (1853-1935) is displayed outside the Family Room, some of the most spectacular examples of historic lace at Waddesdon. Baroness Edmond collected exquisite French, Brussels and Venetian lace, along with the popular 18th-century buttons, on long-term display. Complementing the theme of mourning in Jane Wildgoose’s installation, black gloves from the late 19th and 20th centuries are shown, on loan from the Trustees of the Glove Collection Trust and the Worshipful Company of Glovers of London. You can find out more about the history of the Glovers’ Company and their historic glove collections at www.thegloverscompany.org.
