Features
• Materials: Thick, aged leather with nickel-plated brass decorative studs.
• Design: Tapered protective gauntlets featuring a central flower-style medallion and decorative borders.
• Closure: Top adjustment via an integrated leather strap and metal buckle; bottom sections are permanently riveted in place and do not open.

• Versatility: Adjustable top opening to accommodate different wrist sizes.
Condition
• Leather: The leather remains somewhat pliable, though there is a noticeable difference in softness between the two pieces.
• Metalwork: Decorative rivets show varying levels of shine; some have been polished while others retain an intense green verdigris patina, particularly at the interface with the leather.
• Integrity: All hardware appears secure, and the belt buckles are functional.
• Odor: These were recovered from long-term storage in a trunk; while the natural scent of leather is present, there is a distinct and noticeable mothball odor.
• Overall Status: These are being sold in "as is, as found" antique condition. Please review all high-resolution images carefully to assess surface wear and historical patina.
