Historia
A medieval fraternity of glovers existed, governed by ordinances of 1349. In 1498, the glovers united with the guild of pursers and, in the early 16th century, this joint body merged with the Leathersellers' Company. The Glovers' Company emerged again as a separate entity under the charter of 1638, following a resurgence in trade as gloves became more elaborate and fashionable.
