1908 British Antique Sterling Silver Handle Glove Stretchers, Gourdel Vales & Co.

This is an antique glove stretcher with a sterling silver handle, crafted in Birmingham in 1908 during the Edwardian era by the prestigious British workshop Gourdel Vales & Co.

Strongly reflecting the Art Nouveau style that swept through Europe at the time, it elegantly features three-dimensional reliefs of gracefully extending plant stems and lovely rosebuds.While the arms show signs of wear and dullness commensurate with their age, the internal spring remains in good working order, and the sterling silver handle retains a soft, gentle luster even after more than a century.Once a stylish tool used by aristocrats to maintain their appearance, this piece now adds a special touch of sophistication as an antique object, perfect for decorating a modern vanity or study.
