Gentlemen’s Dress Accessories Paperback / softback
by Eve Eckstein, J. and G. Firkins
Part of the Shire Library series
Paperback / softback
Description
In the mid-nineteenth century, men wished to balance the sobriety of their clothing: if fashion dictated drab coloring, they could add ornament.
Hence gentlemen came to display a selection of male jewellery, including the watch chain or ‘albert’ with its attachments - watch-keys, seals, fobs, compasses, pencils, vestas and the like.
Studs, cravat pins, flower holders, cuff-links and special dress buttons for waistcoats were also widely used.
Many of the items described and illustrated here are highly collectible and can still be worn today, often providing a stimulating conversion point.
