May Morris exhibited these gloves in New York in 1910, during her North American lecture tour. They remained in her private collection with no evidence that they were used in church, probably a reason why they are in such great condition!

“Embroidery is the first thing I learned... I sat beside my mother at her embroidery frame and watched the needle come down and begged to be allowed to fasten the thread.” - May Morris, 1910.

This design is often assumed as a William Morris design, a misconception that May enjoyed.
