EVELYN PAPERS. Vol. CCLXII. Gloves of doe-skin, the cuffs embroidered with a design of flowers and leaves in gold and silver thread, coloured silks and spangles, and with a fringe of gold thread; 17th cent. These are mentioned by Evelyn (as ‘rich gold fringed gloves’) in an inventory of the contents of his Dover Street house in 1703 (pocket book of Evelyn, Harvard University, Houghton Library, MS Eng. 992.2, p. [23]). Traditionally they are said to have been given to him by Peter the Great of Russia, who stayed at Sayes Court in 1698, but there is no evidence of this, or indeed that Evelyn ever met Peter the Great, whose tenancy was arranged on the King’s behalf and resulted in extensive damage to the property which had to be made good by the Treasury (see Diary, V, p. 290). It is notable that the inventory reference quoted above gives no association for the gloves.
