This listing includes two unique pairs of antique 19th-century cold-weather gauntlet driving mittens. Both sets are handcrafted from genuine natural brown hair-on-horsehide, designed originally for sleigh drivers, stagecoach masters, and buggy travelers. Sized approximately as men's large, each pair features the characteristic flared, oversized gauntlet cuffs engineered to slide over bulky winter coat sleeves. The underside panels are constructed from thick, durable period leather to provide a steady grip on carriage reins or tools. The internal cavities of both pairs are heavily insulated to offer reliable thermal protection against brutal freezing elements. Displaying exceptional frontier character, both sets exhibit an authentic overall patina with visible surface wear, cracking, and creasing from extensive historical field use.
