Pair of black leather gloves with floral lace design from Mae's Millinery Shop. The gloves end at the mid-forearm. On each back arm there is a triangular cut out with a panel of floral lace using black thread and black leather for the flowers. There are no labels. Mae Reeves (1912-2016) was a pioneering African-American milliner who was famous for her custom-made hats. Her business, Mae's Millinery Shop in downtown Philadelphia, was one of the first shops in the city to be owned by a woman of African American heritage.
